Restaurants
Union Coffee
2407 E Union StA bit of a trek, but some of the the city's best coffee.
Maybe the city's most underrated restaurant, always a great meal, always a different menu, and most likely a bit of a wait. Get there early and enjoy a cocktail around the fire while you wait for your table.

Bar del Corso
3057 Beacon Ave SConsistently great Italian Food.
It's actually quite impressive with a great selection of coffee. Don't miss out and grab something from the Italian bakery inside. Be warned, it's not a cheap cup of coffee!

The Independent Pizzeria
4235 E Madison StPretty great pizza
It's highly recommended because it's really that good. It's on the pricier side, but if you have the dough you won't be disappointed. If you have to wait, hop across the street and have a cocktail at Eden Hill.

Old Salt is a daytime bagel pop up at Manolin Restaurant. The bagels are great as are the smoked fish options.

Can't say enough good things about this Japanses + Danish inspired bakery/cafe. Favorites are the egg sandwich w/ lemongrass sausage, the croissant, and anything else that looks good to you.

Day Trips
Start your day with a hike (we suggest the Oyster Dome Trail) followed by lunch at Taylor Shellfish Farms in Chuckanut, and then a walk (and snacking) in Edison. Edison Favorites: Breadfarm Mariposa, Tweets, and The Old Edison. Check restaurant days/hours before you go.

Bainbridge (day trip) - A short ferry ride from downtown Seattle. You can walk on/walk off and it’s a short 10 min walk to town. Our favorites are: Ba Sa, Bruciato, Hitchcock, Blackbird Bakery, Mora Gelato. If you’re not afraid of biking some hills check out the “Chilly Hilly” route.
For a slightly longer and more scenic ferry ride take the trip to Bremerton and eat at Anthony’s Restaurant at the Bremerton Ferry dock. Bremerton isn’t as nice a town as Bainbridge, but the ferry ride on a sunny day is beautiful.

Activities
Argosy Cruises | If the weather is nice, sign up for an Argosy Cruise that sails through the Ballard Locks. You’ll see the houseboats on Lake Union, go through the locks and into Elliott Bay downtown. It takes about 3 hours and is well worth it as it’s a great way to see a lot of Seattle that many Seattleites don’t even see.

Ballard | A favorite new area in Seattle is Ballard specifically Ballard Avenue. This old industrial neighborhood has been transformed into great restaurants and shops. Walk up and down this street and enjoy the sights – a few good restaurants on this street – Bastille, San Fermo, Stone Burner, and for dessert you must try Hot Cakes, quite delicious! There’s a great Farmers Market every Sunday of the year.

Capitol Hill | This hipster neighborhood is transforming rapidly as all the Amazon recruits are moving there much to the dismay of the locals. Nevertheless, the restaurant scene on the Pike Pine corridor is the hottest in the city.
Make sure to visit the new Starbucks Roastery Reserve - This is like a Disneylandesque version of Starbucks. This is a new Starbucks concept that takes the coffee shop to a whole new level. It is definitely worth visiting and only a couple blocks outside of downtown.

Chihuly Museum | A really spectacular museum, but best to see in the early evening when it’s dark. When inside the museum it doesn’t matter, but there’s an outdoor glass museum that is best (and a must see) at night when lit up. Check the times and make sure it’s dark so you can enjoy.
