Spend a Day in Korea… in Gwinnett

Feb 27

A plane ticket to Korea is pricey. If you want to immerse yourself in Korean culture, spend a day in Gwinnett's local Korean community.

Morning

Breakfast is the day's most important meal, so we suggest you start at one of Gwinnett's Korean bakeries, like Paris Baguette or Treestory Bakery & Cafe. Grab a sweet or savory pastry with a freshly brewed ADAGIO iced coffee or matcha tea.

Once you've had your fill of breakfast, head over to Jeju Sauna, where you can exercise, receive a variety of spa treatments, or relax in a number of mineral saunas (each with different healing properties). Try a Korean Demadi (a full body cleanse and scrub)—you'll come out feeling baby smooth.

Afternoon

It's time for lunch. All that relaxing will have you working up an appetite. For a delicious, traditional, home-cooked-style meal, stop by Jang Su Jang. The Gopchang Soon (soft) Tofu Soup, which includes beef tripe, is a must.

Next, you'll want to grab a few essentials. You'll find Korean snacks, beer, and beauty products at Super H Mart. A pack of moisturizing face masks should undoubtedly be on your list. Grab some incredibly fresh seafood and produce. Visit the home products section for rice cookers, kitchen utensils, and other home goods.

Evening

The dinner bell is ringing, and Korean BBQ is the place to be. Get your fill of all-you-can-eat options at many places, including K Factory and 9292. The list goes on and on. Order some Soju (a Korean variation of vodka) for the table.

After dinner, head out to Korean karaoke at Do Re Mi. They're playing all the hits in your private Karaoke room. Order late-night snacks and beverages, and sing your heart out until the wee morning hours.
