I knew this place was good when a group of guy friends ranted and raved about it. So I wanted to see if they were right, and we decided to head out to Annapurna.
To start off with, everyone ordered a vast array of Annapurna's lassis. The rose was…More »

Being born and raised in Vegas has made me come to worship Mexican food - especially in a city where Mexican food is far and few between. In this city, Rancho Bravo is the best solution when I'm either drunk, broke, or desperate. The cheese tamales…More »
Seattle is a slightly terrifying place, and that directly applies to the crazed citizens. Perhaps it's the symptom of being such a foodie paradise, but never have I ever experienced a city so critical about its pizza. Within a mile radius of my…More »

I have high criteria for potential friendships, but a majority of them revolve around food. If you don't like baked goods, I am inherently suspicious of your motives. Oh, but you like Vietnamese food? Then maybe we can be friends then...

Never have I ever been a dessert kind of person, but since moving to Capitol Hill, I have definitely reconsidered. Apart of this conversion has been due to Old School. Frozen custard, being something I had never heard of before Seattle, was truly an…More »
The ambiance of Boom Noodle allows me to forget the dismal nature of being a broke college student. However, the food is slightly lacking.

A downpour on a freezing night was how Seattle welcomed both a friend and I on our first day in the city. Absolutely starving and lost, we almost resorted to hot dogs from the close-by AM PM, but instantly set towards the Lemongrass upon first…More »

A new favorite between my and my friend in Capitol Hill. "A hipster's paradise" is always how my friends refer to this bar, and now I see what they mean. The place is always packed with twenty-somethings, the jukebox brimming with indie favorites,…More »
Being a college student, I am an avid fan of happy hours. Needless to say, Six Arms is my favorite when it comes to this. Every night from 10 to midnight - can I just say Thirsty Thursday?

During the holiday season, I was mesmerized with Atlas. Perhaps it was the seemingly infinite amount of ugly holiday sweaters that won me over, but after the holidays passed, my love for Atlas went along with it.

On any rare beautiful day, you are sure to find a line out the door at Molly Moon's and with good reason. Waiting in a single file, you see the waffle cones freshly pressed and rolled, which is enough to convince me to wait.

I only venture to Dick's on the rare occasion of having cash on me or if intoxicated and in the immediate area. Raised on In-N-Out, Dick's a mere imitation and a poor one at that. The burgers are lackluster, the fries decent in the presence of a…More »

New to the city, it was imperative that I visit Pike Place. In doing so, a friend and I stumbled upon this quaint little restaurant across the street. Having a Narnia reference in mind when seeing the name of the place, we had to give it a go.

Let's preface this review: I am a broke college student. That will explain my love for this place. Literally two blocks away from my school, Neumo's gives me music just how I like it - cheap, loud, and within confined quarters. No, it's no Key Arena…More »
