Weekend Round Up: 3/23-3/25...

I’d like to talk about the weather. And the weekend. And how it’s going to be sunny and in the upper 50s all weekend long. But talking about all of those things would keep me from lacing up my sneakers and heading out for an afternoon run in today’s lovely sunshine. And as much as I love y’all, the fine and fabulous readers of Yay-Today, I love running in the sun even more. So let’s not distract...

A Deep Sea Deal: Ivar’s celebrates 107 years of ...

Seafood fans rejoice! Ivar’s original “Flounder” Ivar Haglund is turning older than anyone I know (107 to be exact) and you’re invited for the celebration. The little restaurant that originally got its start on Pier 54, many many moons ago is now 22 fast casual restaurants strong. All around Washington you can enjoy such favorites like the Fish ‘N Chips, the Clam ‘N Chips, or Salmon ‘N Chips. If you want...

Tea Time with The Moonpaper Tent...

Good morning and welcome to this installment of Yay-Today: The Nanny Chronicles, in which I, YT’s resident nanny, share my favorite activities on the cheap for kids and caregivers. I am so excited to introduce you The Moonpaper Tent (where magic is alive and dream worlds exist), a whimsical haven tucked away in a corner of Roosevelt. When you walk through the purple doors of The Moonpaper Tent, you enter a magical...

For the Kids: Indoor Sandbox...

You all know me as a writer for Yay-Today. What you might not know is I am a nanny by day, taking care of tiny humans. I am constantly on the search for new daytime activities, especially anything happening indoors during Seattle’s gloomy rainy season. This week, I found out about Lil Diggers Playtime at Sandbox Sports in Georgetown. I piled the kids in the car and headed out there on Monday morning. (Image courtesy of...

Giveaway: Pre-funk or After-party at The 5-Point C...

Now that the weather is finally feeling less wintery (I may be a bit optimistic, but hopeful nonetheless) it means people start climbing out of their holes and back into the daylight. Restaurants and bars start to dust off their outdoor seating and everyone stops taking their Vitamin D. It’s glorious! Yommmmm, The 5-Point Cafe makes me hungry for chicken fried steak. Well, it’s time to gather your friends, grab...

Hot Diggity! $5 Po Dog Hot Dogs All March Long...

Leave it to Seattle to take the lowly hot dog, long a staple of backyard bbq-ers and broke college students, and turn it into a gourmet experience. Yep, not only is Seattle one of the only places where you can easily find geoduck on a lunch menu, it’s also the home of Po Dog, where your standard ketchup and mustard weiner gets transformed into a magical creation topped with anything and everything from potato chips to...

Othello Night Market: Celebrate the Year of the Dr...

Sometimes I feel like I’ve already done everything there is to do in Seattle. I mean, there are only so many combinations of flannel, salmon, microbrews, hikes through temperate rainforest and trips to Pike Place Market that one can experience before you feel the fatigue. But then I take a quick peak at a map and am reminded that if I just hop on the Light Rail, there is a whole other universe south of Columbia City...

Last-minute, Non-Sucky Valentines Day Round-Up...

So yeah… Valentine’s Day. You either love it, hate it or completely forgot about it until this post popped up on your Google reader. (I’m assuming that you have subscribed to us on your favorite RSS reader- you have, right? It’s easy!) Personally, I’m not big into flowers (except peonies, which aren’t in season anyway), candy (I’m on a stupid 8-week sugar boycott) or eating out on the...

Lose weight, spend less and eat your breakfast: Th...

One of the biggest gripes we hear around our friend circles is that it’s time to buckle down and not go out to eat so much. Not only is it adding to their waist line, but it can get quite expensive. That’s why, here at Yay-Today, we’re gonna try something new and give you these weekly recipes of yumminess. This week’s edition: breakfast. Photo courtesy of TwoStepsOneStep Sure cereal or a bagel is a...
