Pull up a stool, or a milk crate, and enjoy some street food for a snack, or heck, dinner. The menu includes sun-dae (intestines stuffed with rice and other stuff--I don't really know what's all in there, but I do like it; especially with some coarse-ground salt; yum!), different kinds of vegetable pancakes, ddokbokki (rice cakes smothered in a sweet and spicey red pepper paste), and deep-fried vegetables and seafood. Signs above this stand are in Japanese and then Korean; many, many Japanese tourists visit Myeondong to shop and eat.
Technically, Myeongdong is not closed to automotive traffic. Most of the time walking in Myeondong is spent dodging cars and, more frequently, motorbikes. Still, people just walk in the street since there are no sidewalks. Very few cars actually brave the crowd of people and choose to drive on the outskirts, but a few stubborn souls will force their way through the sea of high heels, 'murses' (man purses--more on these in a future post), and trendy dressers.
