A novelty for The Hill, a diner that never shuts. And it's packed, no matter what time of day or night. The space is retro cutie, but the food is a long list of updated classics and there's a nice lineup of micros on... A novelty for The Hill, a diner that never shuts. And it's packed, no matter what time of day or night. The space is retro cutie, but the food is a long list of updated classics and there's a nice lineup of micros on tap. The tots were fine and dandy, while the corned beef has was all stringy meat with virtually no potatoes. The pies, made by a local baker, are vegan.

The city looks pretty from the deck of these ships, especially when the sun comes out.

TGIF! That's the feeling at this fun, late-afternoon, early evening market. Loads of people from the neighborhood show up to shop and sup, buying dinner from various food purveyors. There's often live music and a bunch... TGIF! That's the feeling at this fun, late-afternoon, early evening market. Loads of people from the neighborhood show up to shop and sup, buying dinner from various food purveyors. There's often live music and a bunch of cooking contests sprinkled throughout the season. Very cool!

In this vibrant community, it seems as if nearly everybody shows up to this popular mid-week market, held May through October. I love the easy access, either from the nearby Light Rail stop or because it's fairly easy... In this vibrant community, it seems as if nearly everybody shows up to this popular mid-week market, held May through October. I love the easy access, either from the nearby Light Rail stop or because it's fairly easy to find street parking. Come early and you might bump into chefs from some of the hottest restaurants in Seattle.

The super cool cocktail bar at the red hot Revel does a nice job mixing interesting drinks. Love the Lazy Gardener with cucumber gin and Rachel's Ginger Beer. The patio's got a fire pit and everybody looks good in that... The super cool cocktail bar at the red hot Revel does a nice job mixing interesting drinks.

Love this place! Small plates rule here and it's easy to get carried away. Go ahead and splurge. Especially groovy in the summer when the patio's open.

If you love the bright, sunny, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, head to Maria Hine's place in Ballard. Start with a Rainier Smash (pictured here) and study up the menu. Big fan of the fresh, crunchy cauliflower... If you love the bright, sunny, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, head to Maria Hine's place in Ballard. Start with a Rainier Smash (pictured here) and study up the menu. Big fan of the fresh, crunchy cauliflower salad and the frites fried in tallow. (That's a fancy way of saying beef fat!) Heck yum!!

This highly anticipated import from Vancouver hit a few bumps in the road during its early days, but it's smooth sailing these days. And, there's rarely a wait for a table these days. While everybody and their brother... This highly anticipated import from Vancouver hit a few bumps in the road during its early days, but it's smooth sailing these days. And, there's rarely a wait for a table these days. While everybody and their brother go ga-ga for the lamb popscicles, I'm a sucker for the pakora, which is a fried veggie fritter.

Ride The Ducks

Tourists eat this up! It's a novel way to see the city, part karaoke, with a dip in Lake Union thrown in toward the end. But if you're a visitor who wants to get out on the open water, go hop on a ferry to Bainbridge,... Tourists eat this up! It's a novel way to see the city, part karaoke, with a dip in Lake Union thrown in toward the end. But if you're a visitor who wants to get out on the open water, go hop on a ferry to Bainbridge, Vashon, or take the Water Taxi to West Seattle.
