Happy Birthday, Marination Station...

A year ago, the fantastic Marination Station opened in Capitol Hill. This tasty restaurant, spawned from the tiny kitchen of the insanely popular food truck, Marination Mobile, has spent the last year serving up tacos, sliders, and phenomenal kimchi creations. Today they are celebrating their first birthday and YOU are invited. Stop by Marination Station anytime today for $1 primo beers, free dessert all day, discounts on...

Jenesequa Style Magazine: Launch party, what what...

Okay, I am the wrong one to be writing about style and launch parties, so bear with me here. What I do know is that Jenesequa (a chic-y little magazine pronounced ‘je ne sais quoi’) will be hosting a big party tonight at 7pm, down at Belltown’s Makers for their launch of the rag doing the 21st century thing, and making their big girl debut on the iPhone and iPhone. You simply must (yep, must) dress in...

Seattle Opera Presents a Free Simulcast of Madama ...

Music, costumes, lights, general pageantry and a reason to get dressed up in something besides fleece- I really can’t think of anything not to like about the opera. Well, there is the price- I’m all for supporting the arts, but not everybody can make regular opera dates when many tickets are over $100 a pop*. But the Seattle Opera is getting ready to celebrate its 50th birthday, and to celebrate, they’re...

Weekend Round-Up: April 6-8...

It’s Passover! It’s Good Friday! It’s Easter! It’s the weekend! Whether you’re up to your knees in matzoh or brightly colored eggs, or neither – here are the events to look forward to this weekend. -FREE pancakes (gluten free ones are available also– only in Seattle, folks) and homemade sausage with no strings attached. Well, you do have to go to Bellevue. -It’s open mic night out in Tacoma. -Cheese please!...

Find Free Food at Chipotle and Ben & Jerry...

After a particularly gluttonous weekend (don’t worry, you’ll hear details of that very soon), I probably need to stay far away from giant burritos and ice cream. But if you didn’t spend all of Sunday eating, then you should definitely take advantage of the sweet deals going on this week at Zaw Pizza, Chipotle and Ben & Jerry’s. Want some free (or at least heavily-discounted) food to get you through...

Midweek Madness: Free Stuff To Fill Your Week...

We usually save the round-ups for the weekend, but evidently Seattle got a little sun-drunk with our recent spat of good weather and scheduled a whole bunch of awesome, free and cheap events all week long. Rather than bombard you with a bunch of posts, I’m sticking them all in here. (Fewer clicks = better usability. Also, I’m lazy.) The sunshine may just be a memory now, but these freebies are still...

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...

Tis the season for Norwegians: Get a taste with a ...

Who doesn’t love the Norwegians that reside in Ballard? Their parade in May is the only crowded event in Seattle I can actually enjoy without feeling like I have to buy bottled water for $20 or move with a herd of cows (plus, I have my own parking spot). But to kick the season off right, the good people of Norway are starting some great festivities this weekend. Photo courtesy of Thorskegga. The Norwegian Cultural Heritage...

FREE Scout Mint Ice Cream at Molly Moon’s!...

You like Girl Scout Cookies, right? Of course you do. And I don’t even need to ask about ice cream- everybody* likes ice cream. So if I tell you that Molly Moon is giving away FREE Scout Mint Ice Cream today, you’re going to be pretty darn happy, aren’t you? Well there you go- I just made your Monday. (taken from www.mollymoonicecream.com) Starting at noon today, all of the Molly Moon Scoop Shops (Capitol...

Gauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive Scavenger Hun...

I love the SAM. It’s an easy breezy art museum that doesn’t take itself so seriously (re: every museum in NYC). They surprise me with some great exhibits and some not so great exhibits, but it always feels fresh and new and fun no matter what. Photo courtesy of marcomazzei Right now, in case you haven’t heard, Paul Gauguin has quite the exhibit over at our little museum. His trips to French Polynesia proved to really...
