Seattle Shit

Family Friendly Trips

Pike Place

I don't see what the big deal is about this place but if you go to Pike Place Market, my favorite restaurant there is a little seafood place called Place Pigalle.

Space Needle

It's a thing people love. Standing in line is a decent way to kill time.

Misc.

Uwajimaya –– Asian supermarket/depot. Has a great Japanese bookstore in it with an interesting selection of "lifestyle" magazines...which are like Japanese "how-to" guides for being in certain aesthetic lanes.

Food

U District

Capitol Hill

  • Annapurna –– Nepalese; my favorite spot in Capitol Hill
  • Kedai Makan –– Malaysian (this is just a storefront; don't think it has seating)--also next to Montana
  • Oddfellows –– bourgeoisie brunch/lunch; v Pinterest friendly
  • Lost Lake –– bourgeoisie diner
  • Smith –– bourgeoise New American

Ballard

  • La Carta de Oaxaca –– really banging Mexican food, but it's Oaxacan, so a little different from standard tex mex fare
  • Windy City Pie –– if you like Chicago style pizza at all, it's insane. Also a good beer list...though this used to be in a totally different spot, so not sure if the beer list is still good
  • Hattie's Hat –– super tasty, low-class diner

Bars

Capitol Hill

  • Montana –– hip dive (think old school Bushwick). They have a weird draft cocktail with Fernet and cold brew that I love
  • Canon –– high end cocktail bar, insane bourbon and tequila list
  • Sun Liquor Lounge –– also a high end cocktail bar

Fremont

  • Fremont Brewing Company –– enormous outdoor beer hall
