[revbribri]

These will be posted on the calendar with more details, but here's the list of the veggie club shindigs for the next two months.


Sunday, September 7th, 2:00 pm
Gamrodang
Tel: [phone]
Budget: 20,000 to 40,000 won
Popular menu: 23,000-98,000 won formal courses
To get there: follow the map attached. It's a 20 minute walk from Anguk Station, exit 1.


Saturday, September 20th, 5:00 pm
Potluck picnic dinner at Yongsan Park!
Same beautiful site. Interesting new time!

At Ichon (이촌 ) station, go out Exit 2. For some reason, it's not very well-marked. Just follow the signs for Exit 1, and Exit 2 is next to it. You'll find yourself walking toward the National Museum of Korea. Yongsan Park is right next to it.

To get to our picnic spot, approach the National Museum and walk to the right around the "reflecting pond." Keep going toward the "Reflecting Pond Cafe" until you see a small path veering off to the right, toward a grove with two ancient Buddha statues.
Please bring salad/dessert/main dish/drinks and a candle (the sun sets at 6:30!)

Sunday, October 5th, 6:30
Potluck with Cheryl's Yoga Studio
Location and directions TBA


Saturday, October 18th, 2:00 pm
ShinDongyang
According to Galbijim wiki:

Shindongyang (신동양, 新東陽) is a Chinese restaurant in Yeouido which is very vegetarian-friendly; though the regular meat-and-seafood menu is larger, you may also request to see the vegetarian menu, which has about 60 dishes, soups, and appetizers and three course menus. The vegetarian dishes feature plenty of faux meat versions of Koreanized Chinese dishes like tangsuyuk and jjajangmyeon, as well as more traditional fare. Whether vegetarian or not, prices are about the same -- main dishes come in two sizes, all around 10 to 15,000 won, with the cheapest just 4,500 and the most expensive going up to 50,000; appetizers are mostly around 6,000. The course menus run from 30,000 to 70,000 and feature up to ten dishes.

It's a fairly large place, with an extra dining hall, and has been run by Chinese immigrants for three generations running. Korea, Mandarin, and English are spoken; the main menu features all three languages but the vegetarian menu has no English, though they will assist you. To get there, go out Yeouido Station exit 5; it will be on the top floor of the first building on your right.

UPDATE: POTLUCK CANCELED DUE TO RAIN. We'll announce through the usual channels if we reschedule.
