Funny & enjoyable!

took pics to show how to access this place from the main street as it might be hard to find if you don't turn into the right alley way...

the location of this place is on the next street parallel to the Sinsadong Garosugil street - this pic was taken standing in the short alleyway

entrance to the short alleyway from the Garosugil street where they usually have a little market setup - so you just need to walk through this mini market with the white tiled floor and you will see Bread & Burger across the street you arrive at.  If you are walking from the Sinsa station you will see this on the left hand side when walking along the Garosugil street

Garosugil street - this is what you will see across the street of the mini market
