check out this very nice article in the Korea Times….

The Itaewon Animal Hospital, located near Noksapyeong Station, has joined Eat*-A-One as a Silver Merchant.  If you are a pet lover and Eat*-A-One member,  you can enjoy 10% off all purchases of pet food and products at Itaewon Animal Hospital.

After many years (at least the 9 that I have called Seoul home) of satisfying the urge for zas among the hungry foreigners of Itaewon, Pizza Hut is calling it quits. Could it be because of other Itaewon pizza options? (among them, Eat*-A-One members La Tavola, La Volpaia, Italonia, Loco Loca, and Pita Time?)

Newly opened, at Loco Loca you will find South American influences in design and atmosphere, freshly baked oven pizzas with Latino flavors and the very best South American wines will be served. Eat*-A-One members will receive 10% off all weekday lunches at Loco Loca.

Itaewon’s Burger King managed to move from its old location to its new premises at the KEB Bank building in record time. Seemingly overnight, it moved several hundred meters down Itaewon Road. Now, of course, BK is not an Eat*-A-One merchant, but I know how some of you may need a whopper every now and then. However, before you indulge in such fare, consider a visit to Pita Time, just across the street, where the fast food is much better. Or, head to Toque Diner or Indigo for a real nice juicy homemade burger…….

Pita Time, Itaewon’s healthy fast food restaurant, has agreed to become an Eat*-A-One Gold Merchant. This means that every time you go to Pita Time, just show your Eat*-A-One membership card and you and a guest will receive 10% off all meals. Enjoy delicious pita wrap sandwiches and pita pizzas. Outdoor seating available. A great place to people watch and enjoy a healthy meal. Pita Time is located on second floor on the south side of the Itaewon main road, across from the KEB bank building.

You Can Dance, Itaewon’s first professional dance studio has joined Eat*-A-One as a silver merchant, offering Eat*-A-One members 10% off their first lesson and their first full class! Not valid for existng YouCanDance clientele.   Lessons are available for beginners as well as seasoned dancers. Have a wonderful time while burning off some of those Eat*-A-One calories!

Wine & Women Korea,  a social and non-profit organization, is offering Eat*-a-One members 50% off the intitial membership fee of 50,000 won.  Wine and Women Korea’s regular events, held at the Kangnam Novotel Ambassador Hotel, allows its members to socialize, schmooze, and enjoy some of the finest wines available in Seoul.

Member Benefits Namaste Restaurant, a Gold Merchant, will offer Eat*-A-One members and one guest 10% off all meals at BOTH of their locations starting in May, 2007!

Location Namaste Restaurant has 2 locations, one in Dongdaemum, and another in Jongno.

Subway Directions - Dongdaemun Take Line #6 to Dongmyo Station, exit number 5. Namaste Restaurant is located on the second floor of the first building on your left, 10 minutes from Itaewon. Jongno- Namaste Restaurant is located in Jongno Tower, just above Bandi & Luni’s bookstore

As is usual at this time of year, Itaewon is a beehive of activity. Here are a few of the things happening-

A second Starbucks has opened at the western end of the strip, same side of the street as McDonald’s.

Caffeine-lovers will have yet another option when the Coffee Bean& Tea Leaf opens right above Burger King. Surely this will become Itaewon’s premier people-watching perch…during daylight hours at least.
The Hard Rock Cafe is under construction in the old nightclub space where the Limelight used to be. In a normally-paced country it might take many months to finish construction, but this being Korea, it may by mid-May. Who knows?

And Itaewon is about to get its first taste of two as yet unrepresented countries, Austria and Bulgaria…yes, a Bulgarian restaurant is coming to add to the culinary party!

In other news, we will soon have some great announcements for Eat*-A-One members , stay tuned to learn how and where you’ll be able to save.
