be foodie about town

For those of you truly HUNGRY to experience Seattle, try my latest self foodie tour suggestion guild. it should be a journey both culinary intriguing and a little educational.

below is meant to be taken as a whole day/evening adventure.

1st stop:

Panama Hotel and tea house- The Tea House at the historic Panama Hotel in Japan town (Nihonmachi) serves the finest teas from around the world as well as fresh pastries and even panini. Sitting in this hip restored space, you’ll be transported back to another
time in Seattle’s history. The hotel’s owner, Jan Johnson sometimes does tours which include access to a completely untouched (since the 50’s) Japanese bathhouse. Also with proximity is Uwajimaya Village, an amazing Asian fresh market that could even rival the pike place market in many ways! Check it out.

2nd stop:

Oddfellows (for lunch)- Located right between the pike/pine corridor on capital hill, oddfellows has proven to be a solid neighborhood favorite. its got a beautiful wide, old school space and open kitchen. not to be missed is the french dip and au jus with perhaps the beet and chevre salad. don't forget to hop into molly moon's right around the corner to lick up some of seattle's best ice cream. grab a cone, a shake or a Sunday and walk over to cal anderson park (across the street) and take in the amazing capital hill neighborhood.

4th stop:

Marco's Supper Club (for a light dinner)- come and visit one of the premiere restaurants that helped start the culinary boom in the belltown neighborhood in the mid to late 90's. a must have is their deliciously spiced jerk chicken dish with sweet potato and braised greens. their super charming space and bar area is a great place to hang out and sip a nice cocktail and/or have a snack. if in the summer, the back patio will be open. also think about catching a cool fick at The Big Picture (across the street.) this unique movie house features current films and art films with a cozy, warm ambiance, full bar and popcorn served in champagne buckets!

5th (and final) stop:

Palace Kitchen (for desert)- open until 1am everyday (with full menu,) this is a great late night spot for a little sugar enhancement. the center piece of there desert selection is always their creme carmel, but anything you choose will be a winner.
