Family Meal Mondays at Cure: Good Eats On The Cheap

Family Meal Mondays at Cure: Good Eats On The Chea...

I’m no fan of Mondays – they’re hard, and hectic, and the last thing I want to do is come home and make an entire dinner. So when I read Naomi Bishop’s write up of Cure’s Family Meal Monday, I chiseled the upcoming dates into my calendar. Good food at low prices at one of my favorite Seattle wine bars for under $20?

More Cheese Please: The Cheese Buffet at ART Restaurant Seattle

More Cheese Please: The Cheese Buffet at ART Resta...

Originally posted 11/2/12 The world is made up of two kinds of people- those who crave sweet treats and those who crave savory. I’ve got nothing against anybody with a sweet tooth (and to be honest, I’m incredibly jealous of anybody who can bake), but for me, happiness comes in the form of a cheese plate. Throw in a glass of wine, and I haven’t got a care left in the world. That’s why ART...

GIVEAWAY: Happy Hour at Hunger

GIVEAWAY: Happy Hour at Hunger...

This post originally ran on November 12, 2012. The contest has closed (congratulations to Beth, our winner!), but Hunger is still serving up a fab happy hour. Plus, they recently opened a new, even more sausage-centric sister bar, The Augustus. So while we are on vacation, take some time to drool over this happy hour recommendation! I have a special weakness for Spanish food. I know, it’s not exactly uncommon to be a...

Happy Hour at Cafe Flora

Happy Hour at Cafe Flora...

Hi there Yay-Today-ers! This weekend I met up with some friends for a delicious meal at Cafe Flora, which inspired me to re-run this post. That means that the giveaway has already closed (sniffle), but seriously, this time of year, you might want to think about celebrating at Cafe Flora. Otherwise you might be wearing your fat pants to your New Years Eve party.   Happy hour has a bit of a bad...

FREE Coffe at Seattle’s Best Coffee in SoDo

FREE Coffe at Seattle’s Best Coffee in SoDo...

I know, I know- we live in Seattle, where we don’t just drink coffee, we LIVE it. French Press, pourover, Aeropress, shadegrown, locally roasted, cold brew… There’s no end to options when you go for a cup of joe in this town. But this week, if you find yourself in SoDo, give yourself a break from all the options and pick up a FREE drip coffee from Seattle’s Best Coffee’s new drive-through store...

The Brunch Bunch: Joule

The Brunch Bunch: Joule...

It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with everything that comes out of the kitchen at sister restaurants Joule and Revel. And my fanaticism doesn’t exactly make me a culinary trailblazer- fancy restaurant critics both near and far can’t stop singing the praises of the Korean-inspired dishes at these two fabulous restaurants. So I won’t bore you with another recap of the delicious short ribs...

Beaujolais Nouveau is Back!

Beaujolais Nouveau is Back!...

In his younger days (aka, his late twenties), my husband was one of those guys who would get so excited about a new video game system or other random gadget that he would line up outside a store for a midnight release. I never got the thrill. But when it comes to celebrating the release of new wine, I’m all in. (Hey, different strokes for different folks.) So chances are I’ll probably be attending at least one of...

Election Day Parties: Where to Celebrate Democracy in Seattle

Election Day Parties: Where to Celebrate Democracy...

Voting by mail is convenient, but I do have to admit that I miss the camaraderie of lining up outside of a church rec hall or some random neighbor’s basement, casting my vote in a little cardboard booth (that makes terrific fodder for a clubhouse if you’re under the age of 10), and getting an “I Voted!” sticker from a nice old lady volunteer. Since that isn’t an option here in Washington,...

Volterra Gets Happy (Hour)

Volterra Gets Happy (Hour)...

Update: This post originally ran in July 2011, so I thought it was a good time to remind you all of a solid happy hour option that deserves another visit- Volterra! They recently added a new location in Kirkland, so this is a great happy hour recommendation for Seattlites and Eastsiders alike. Volterra has been dishing up delicious Italian food for nearly 20 years, but in all that time, they’ve never had a happy hour. I...
