Monglong Stationery (CLOSED)

Those tiny stationery stores in front of all elementary schools meant the world to us as kids. Two young designers created Monglong Stationery, which is the embodiment of the stationeries of yesteryear in their purest form. Old school staples like Apollo, marbles and train-shaped pencil sharpeners fill the shelves inside. Chew on a spicy tteok (rice cake) skewer while sitting on the hard wooden chair just like the old days, and you’ll feel like you’re in a Korean elementary school from back in the day. Well, the only difference is that you’re served soju.
