The route
Walk it
This is MVP mock data. Real place data can replace the same numbered stop, coordinate, and note structure later.
1. Warm-up walk
Seoul Forest
Start with shade and space before the cafe streets get busy.
Best flow
Start with coffee before lunch traffic, cross into the design-shop streets, then leave dinner flexible so the day can recover from queues.
What to order
Keep the first order simple: iced americano, a bakery item, then one local lunch dish that is easy to point at on the menu.
Fallback
If it rains, treat Seongsu as a cafe-and-shop day instead of forcing every outdoor stop.
