| I moved to Seattle from Chicago to work at Amazon. When people ask me how I put up with the rain in Seattle, I just reply back "how do you put up with the snow?" Seattle has a great diverse ecosystem for outdoors enthusiasts - drive for an hour or so, and you can go skiing, hiking, swimming, camping and more. Seattle has a great craft beer culture as well. Some of my favorite bars are: Brouwers, Uber, Naked City, Beveridge Place Pub and Collins Pub. If you want authentic mexican, check out Oaxaca in Ballard. As for taco truck food, check out El Camion in the parking lot of Home Depot on 135th and I-99 Aurora as well as Taqueria Tequila on 85th. For Chicago style stuffed pizza, check out Delfino's in University Village and stay far away from Kylie's in Fremont (ugh)...for normal pizza, try Serious Pie, Flying Squirrel and Via Tribunali. For breakfast, try Beth's Cafe and CJ's (my favorite eggs benedict) For italian, try Cafe Lago. Great pasta. For sandwiches - my 2 favorite places are Salumi's where you should try the Mole & Mozz. Salumi's is a few blocks away from where the Seahawks play. Second place is Tat's where they have the town's best philly cheese steak sandwich. For ice cream, Molly Moon's wins hands down. They are in Wallingford as well as Capitol Hill. Enjoy! |
The first rule of Cafe Lago is you don't talk about Cafe Lago. They run out of lasagna at 7 PM as it is. :(
