Social Distancing Eateries & Cafes

We’ve now entered the era of robot service in the food industry where robots make drinks and even serve customers ! What once was fantasy in the movies is now reality! Some of the common social-distancing tech out there includes things like the drive-thru and self-service kiosks, but now there is a new generation of social-distancing tech increasing by the day! And this generation of technology that was thought to be that of the future just last year, has now, right before our eyes, become essential everyday items providing us with daily comforts. Cars may not be ready to take to the sky just yet, but why don’t we venture out into Seoul and check out all the fascinating, futuristic food technology out there!

Café BotBotBot

Café BotBotBot has all the latest “food tech” to make sure you get the best out of your coffee and dessert! Just imagine a smooth café latte invigorating your taste buds for a refreshing pick-me-up. This summer, in particular, carries some significance as it marks the advent of three robot    "employees" that help prepare some of the delicious café items and desserts! The “barista bot” brews up a cup of fantastic coffee, the “dessert bot” illustrates a beautiful image of your choice on your dessert, and the “cocktail bot” stirs up a savory, signature selection of fun cocktails. All menu items are provided without any manned services and the cafe has spacious seating available with a second-floor rooftop area. Café BotBotBot is the perfect spot to help subdue any concerns about social distancing while also giving visitors a chance to experience the cool factor of the Seongsu-dong area making a comeback!

Ttareungi at Seoul Forest

The call for increased social distancing these days has led to the falling out of meetings with friends and being forced to stick it out at home in isolation. Unfortunately, one of the outcomes of this “home isolation” is packing on the weight! And one of the best ways to help shed some of that unwanted weight is bike riding ! Seoul’s public bike rental brand, Ttareungi, is even said to have seen a two-fold increase in bike use since the start of the pandemic. As such, the Seoul Facilities Corporation has stepped up activity to ensure proper sanitation and disinfection of Ttareungi bikes. Seoul Forest covers an especially expansive area, yet Ttareungi has been able to meet the demand of such a large-scale area with plenty of rental stops scattered throughout the park. Enjoy some free-spirited exercise accompanied by the nature of the forest, but be sure to use the provided hand sanitizer prior to bike rental and follow the safety guidelines.

Social Distancing Culture Zone

As social-distance traveling increasingly trends across the globe, there seems to be an unexpected positive impact from it. People now prefer seeking out less crowded quiet areas, which has led to many venturing out to different neighborhoods and corners of the city that perhaps had been previously neglected. And Seoul is a city that offers historical traces and anecdotes that remain preserved, in one way or another, in literally every area, making this the perfect time to embark on a little adventure that breaks away from the crowd for a memorable time out on the road less traveled!

Peace Culture Bunker

For those looking to strictly put social distancing into practice, the Peace Culture Bunker is the place to go! Over last several years throughout history, the bunker has been used for several different purposes. It was once used as an anti-tank defense facility at a public lodging building, before being converted into public housing . In 2017, it was then converted once more into the culture space facility you see today. Time will fly by as you get absorbed in all the fascinating historical sites and structures. The Peace Culture Bunker really stands out as a rich embodiment of historical exhibition without all the hustling and bustling that one might expect in the city. The vicinity Changpowon Park and its well-preserved environment is also an essential stop during your visit to the bunker!
