Subject: RE: Seattle Monthly Bike Rentals - good rep? Yes, the bus system is quite a pain. I've been riding since I was in college and still screw it up occasionally. For restaurants: Tom Douglas is a local restauranteur who has several great options downtown: Lola (Greek), Dahlia Lounge, Palace Kitchen, Serious Pie (Pizza). These are all really great options. I also like Toulouse Petit (Cajun) and it's on lower Queen Anne. If you want to venture farther from downtown, there's several cool neighborhoods in North Seattle. Ballard has a Scandanavian feel, Fremont is hippy-dippy, etc. etc. I really think exploring away from the downtown core is underrated by tourists, but that's probably due to practicality with our troublesome bus system. I love this city and can probably go on and on about things to do and see, so drop me a line if you want more advice. |
