Seoul doesn’t have to be all day, sometimes we just pop into Seoul for an afternoon or evening date night.
Getting to Seoul from Pyeongtaek Itinerary
On the bus headed to AK Plaza to catch a train to Seoul to see Billy Elliot at the D-Cube Art Center. We could have driven, but the bus is more fun! Trains are a great way to spend some time together relaxing and catching up on your week.

Grab Dinner Near Yeongdeungo Station
Gotta love happy accidents. After getting off at Yeongdeungo Station, we walked to the BBQ joint we had seen before, but it was closed. We pulled up Naver, hit the restaurant tab, and off we went checking out potential dinner places. We found @yankeesburger_pizza and loved it: the vibe, music, pizza, and burgers. Mullae is such an interesting neighborhood – part industrial shops, part art shops, part cool pubs/restaurants, and part cafe. This neighborhood might become our tailgate tradition before the musicals.

This little pizza/burger joint in the industrial area of Mullae has a fun atmosphere.
Take a Slow Walk to the Theater
We still had some time before he needed to head to the theater, so we explored this interesting neighborhood, Mullae-dong: industrial shops juxtaposed with hip alleyways full of wine bars, pubs, restaurants, and cafes. (PS – loved the Azit shop signage.)
Coffee and Dessert are Always a Must
There was a crowd outside this cafe, so we checked it out. @cafe_giggle is one that we will come back too – great drinks and cakes. Highly recommend the salted caramel and vanilla nut crumble lattes. Loved the ambiance as well!

A cute little cafe in the Mullae district of Seoul. Offers a change from the standard desserts and adds a little flair to the standard list of beverages.
Continue Your Walk and Enjoy the Street Art
We zig-zagged our way to the D-Cube, making a list of galleries and culinary establishments to check out next time we come to see a show. Can’t get enough of the street art, so here are a few more pics.
Stop at an Art Gallery
From street to gallery, we loved these pieces by Kim Han Ki @gallerymullae.

A fun, small gallery.
Enjoy a Show at the Dcube Arts Center
An easy stroll from the Mullae Creative Village to the @dcubeartscenter brought us to the pinnacle of our day of art enjoyment—Billy Elliot The Musical. The D-Cube Art Center is a great Theatre with not a bad seat in the house. The talent for these shows never ceases to amaze! We have loved every performance we have seen in Korea and we never mind if they aren’t in English.
