Weekend Round-Up: The Halloween Edition...

What’s better than Halloween falling on a Saturday? I’ll tell you- Halloween falling on a Sunday. Because that means you really get to celebrate all weekend. Not sure how to do that exactly?

Brought to you by the cool peeps at Puget Sound Mycological Society and the Arboretum Foundation, this free event...

Groupon Groupies: Win a $25 Groupon Credit...

If you are a regular reader of yay-today, you know that we are big fans of the group discount website explosion- you know, the websites that offer a big discount at businesses both local and national businesses. It seems like a new one pops up just about every day, but some are definitely better than others. In the past, we’ve highlighted several of the newer upstarts, but today, we’re going to share a couple...

Seamonster Lounge: The music is on the house...

Photo courtesy of Simon Blackley Have you ever been to Seamonster Lounge? Okay, well I haven’t, so this review might be short and lame. But what I do know are the following: 1. It’s a Jazz/Blues/Tapas Lounge/Bar. 2. It’s in Wallingford, which when I think of Wallingford, the words Jazz and Blues don’t come to mind – so this is a good thing. 3. Let’s not judge a place by it’s...

5 for $5: The Best Cheap Stuff to do in West Seatt...

It’s neighborhood exploration time again. Today’s edition of “The Best 5 things to do for about $5″ is all about West Seattle, that not-so-distant little enclave of Seattle that we don’t visit nearly often enough. West Seattle may take a little effort getting to, thanks to the whole giant body of water that separates it from the rest of the city, but it’s totally worth the effort- this...

Hide & Seek: Canlis Offers Dinner at 1950s Pr...

Canlis is consistently rated as one of the top dining experiences in the nation. But it certainly isn’t a place that most yay-today readers can afford to frequent- a dinner for two with wine can easily cost as much as a reasonable car payment. But to celebrate their upcoming 60th birthday, Canlis is doing the time warp dance and giving some lucky winners the chance off of their original menu, with original, 1950s...

Yelp Helps: With free wine, they can help me all t...

Who doesn’t love Yelp? The site has become my personal go-to for whatever it is I need. A good restaurant, a boutique nearby, anything – I check Yelp. And now they’re actually going above and beyond basic reviews, thanks to a lot of non-profit organizations and ummm, cocktails. Yelp Helps is bringing volunteer-minded people and local non-profits together for a big, fun meet and greet. From 8-10pm tonight, at...

myTeaShelf: Win a FREE teapot, drink better tea...

And now, your moment of zen… At least that’s how I feel at about 3:00 every afternoon when I brew my afternoon cup o’ tea (thanks mostly to my neighboring co-worker’s amazing desktop electric tea-kettle, which allows me to avoid a trip up to the scary corporate cafeteria for my hot water needs). I love tea for many reasons- both its curative properties (and by “curative” I often mean...
