Authentic Italian- real Italian food from a real Italian. I love Pietro Borghese the owner, and his wife the chef (has competed on Iron Chef!). The best Lasagne you have ever put in your mouth, I guarantee it. Beautiful space, the gnocchi will make you want to slap your mama.

Great authentic Mexican in funky old Georgetown. Happy hour specials, a popular spot. The owners have another location a few doors to the north specializing in seafood. Many other bars and restaurants along this street.

Because the view. Right on Lake Union, the outdoor deck is the coveted spot. Houseboats, pleasure craft, seaplanes landings... Also great margaritas, guac, and in fact everything I've eaten there was delicious. And did I mention the view?

Best in town, in my opinion. Smoked low and slow, no sauce even needed. Great sides (collard greens done right!), and drinks. Casual, funky, outdoor seating, too.

Always great music. See and hear the next great bands before they hit the arena circuit. You have to stand up, so you might as well do it right in front of the stage! Lots of great restaurants and other music venues along this stretch of old Ballard Ave.

First white settlers landed here. Once a place of little beach cabins, now lined with condos. The beach is wide and sandy, with a paved lane for rollerblading and bikes. Can have bonfires at night. Lots of restaurants and bars line the street. Great for sunny days, sunsets, people watching.

Essentials

This is the closest grocery store. It is huge and makes me want to tear my hair out. But it has everything including liquor and a pharmacy and a bank. Take valium first.

Shopping

Inventive, inspiring, unique. Kirk travels all over and finds and transforms crazy stuff. My favorite shop. Expensive. Susan Wheeler's shop next door is great, too. Other vintage shops within a block.
