Keys & Locksmiths

Oh geez, I needed keys!
Although you can get keys at other nearby locations like QFC, the Broadway Locksmith is awesome! Why go to a chain when you can support a local shop? I walked in and was greeted by two friendly locksmiths. There was almost a…More »
So.. here's another update. I gave 611 five stars and they STILL deserve it. I've been frequenting this place more and more in recent weeks and I have yet to have a bad experience there.

The owners and employees here are so kind that you can't help but want to hang out here all the time. On my first few visits I was learning about hookah and different tobaccos, so I went with some really…More »

When planning events you're sometimes left to your own devices. It can be incredibly stressful and time consuming! I checked out Pravda via Yelp and contacted them about having a party for 250-300 people.

Who doesn't love a great dumpling?! I'm waiting (impatiently) for the Dumpling Dojo to find a new home.
In the meantime, I had an EXCELLENT meal there when they were open on Broadway.

Although it's located RIGHT next to The Stumbling Monk - it seats/holds 5x more customers and serves food. Very smart!

Ok... I'm stuck between 4 and 5 stars.
Here's the deal. People are talking about this spot. It's either, "they're so amazing!" or, "they're so expensive!"
I had to check it out for myself and well, it's true. These are some amazing yet expensive hot…More »
This spot has some serious potential. With lots of the bars on the Hill bleeding into the same scenes, The Still seems to stand out on it's own. I loved the clean, modern decor and open spaces. The furniture was heavy, the floors are concrete, the…More »
What a lovely bar! I went last night with a large group of friends and on a Friday at 12am I never expected to land a huge booth. The Lobby Bar has TONS of space. Barstools, standing room, small tables, large tables, and booths. The one I managed to…More »
Cafe Septieme is in a great location and sits across from, next to, and nearby a TON of other restaurants. It's a great spot in the summer because of outdoor seating. In the winter it's also nice because it's cozy inside and there are lot s of…More »
