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...

Happy Hour Steals: Pintxo

Happy Hour Steals: Pintxo...

I’m a big fan of happy hours- there’s something (probably the cheap alcohol) that makes me feel really warm and fuzzy inside ending a hard day of work with a relaxing drink with friends.

So, in true yay-today spirit, we’re going to...

zig-a-zig-ah...

Short Story: Zig Zag Cafe’s happy hour gives you access to world-class cocktails for less than it costs to park downtown. The great thing about Seattle is that when we get decent weather, we really know how to work it.  The sun comes out and every square inch of patio in the city is immediately hopping.  But even the most idyllic deck can be ruined by a lackluster happy hour, so it’s up to you to choose...
