2011 October- Yay Today!

FREE Food Monday: Ice Cream, Tacos & Sliders,...

Happy Monday everybody. Seriously- today we have two ways you can get your free food fix. Happy Mondays do exist. In Hawaii, Aloha means hello and good-bye. In Seattle, it evidently means “FREE FOOD.” Well, I may prefer Hawaii’s weather, but I think this interpretation finally means that we’ve got them beat on something. At least that’s how I’m interpreting this awesome bit of news from...

Weekend Round-Up: 10/28-10/31 (Bonus Halloween Edi...

What’s the scariest thing about Halloween? In my opinion, it’s the fact that it means October is already over. Yeah, time flies like a mofo starting this time of year. Anyway, here’s the skinny on all the happenings around town this weekend (and beyond- with Halloween happening on a Monday this year, it’s practically a 3 day weekend, so we’re just going to treat it like one and include...

Dishcrawl Seattle: Eat the Best of Broadway for $2...

Some people use to-do lists to manage their productivity. I use mine to manage my dining. I want to try all the amazing restaurants that Seattle has to offer, but not only is it overwhelming, it’s also really expensive. So whenever I happen upon a chance to eat delicious food at bargain prices, I’m in. Hence my excitement over the existence of Dishcrawl Seattle, where $29 buys you food at 4...

Seattle Animal Shelter: Nothing gets a blog attent...

I’ve had one of those weeks where instead of sneaking an hour out of my 9 to 5 to do this here blog (sometimes days ahead of schedule), instead I have get to do posts at 9pm the night before frantically figuring out what to entice you lovely readers with. Luckily my blogging inspiration for today’s reading pleasure is coming from a very good place: Seattle Animal Shelter! Photo courtesy of Seattle Animal...

Cider Press: The latest free (and not so easy, but...

As far as the typical Seattle DIY/Urban Farmer goes, I think your life probably looks a little like this: rent a goat, get chickens for your yard, go to a beekeeper class, have an obscene collection of mason jars and then can everything you can get your hands on. Well, now that it’s Fall it’s time to put down the compost and start the latest new trend: CIDER PRESSING! Photo courtesy of Tecfan I’ve been...

Ghostride the Vote: Make Sense of Your Ballot at M...

November’s rapid approach doesn’t just mean that it’s time to dig out your stretchy Thanksgiving pants- it also means that you have to do your duty as a good citizen and vote. And while I know that you absolutely intend to do your civic duty in a timely manner this year, I also know that sometimes you don’t actually get around to mailing your ballot in. Life gets busy, the initiatives are confusing,...

Seattle Restaurant Week Giveaway: So Nice We Did i...

Pants feeling a little tighter this morning? Maybe that’s because you spent last week taking full advantage of Seattle Restaurant Week, one of the most gastronomically magical times of the year. Well, don’t swear off $28 dinners and $15 lunches at some of Seattle’s finest dining destinations just yet, because you’re only halfway done. Oh, and we’ve got yet another $50 gift certificate to give...

Weekend Round-Up: October 21-23...

I’m sick and tired. No, really. I got the typical beginning of the season case of the cold. Stupid people come to work stupid sick and then my magic potions can’t seem to fight all their stupid colds at once. And then I have to work too, so I come into the office and then the cycle just keeps on going. So with that lovely intro, I’ll leave you with some stuff I probably won’t be able to do since I’ll be in the tub...

Uber: Road Rage Begone...

Now that the Viaduct is really, truly (no seriously, really, right?) getting torn down, Seattle is basically gonna be one big traffic shit show. Honestly, if you need to get downtown or to SODO or anywhere really, just prepare yourself – the next two weeks will suck. (photo courtesy of flickr user jdnx) Luckily there’s Uber to save you from white knuckling it through rush hour. What the heck is Uber, you ask? It’s...

Chic and Cheap: Two Fashion-y Events for Budget-Mi...

So you know that here at Yay-Today, we like to look cute, but we really love paying our credit cards off in full every month. (Frequent flier miles and no accrued interest? Yes please!) Yeah, I get a little wistful when I walk by the windows of Nordstroms and Saks, but a little bit of self-control goes a loooong way for the ole’ credit score. But that does not mean that you’ll find me sporting shabby, or worse,...
