I saw this on the tourist map and gladly decided to see the park in person. I didn't go inside, but the outdoor display was fun and very well organized. This was the highlight of my Seattle trip. I love abstract art in nature. It is so out-of-the-box…More »

I know my chowder being from New England. Get the chowder sampler and get everything that is cream-based. I loved the lobster bisque and the mushroom medley. I think that makes this experience special was the piece of sour dough bread they serves…More »

After a long drive and an agonizing walk uphill on an empty stomach, seeing this troll lifted my spirits. It is quite creative, unexpected, and brighten up a would-be scary dark spot under that bridge.

I was super please with the amenities for the cost. Perhaps because I previously stayed at a shack for $100 buck in Vancouver, this place felt like luxury!

The king size bed was perfect. The room came with internet and air conditioning. There was a…More »

Long corridors full of vendors selling flowers, seafood, and knick knacks. This is a nice quick 15 minute stroll to see all the hussle and bustle. It seemed to be full of mainly tourists.

I got here around 6:30pm on a Wednesday. I am disappointed that they ran out of the cuban roast sandwich already and since I had to return the rental car the next day that was my only chance to get out of the city to try the all-famous sandwich.…More »

They offer lots of specials, such as fish tacos for $3.69 on Fridays and happy hour options every weekday from 4-7pm. The fish tacos were mediocre, but filling enough for a quick meal. They basically toss in a piece of frozen breaded fish on a…More »

I know that it is a "dive bar." However, does it need to be so stinky? It smells like the inside of an overused unclean mcdonald's deep fryer mixed with eau de frat boy house. The only saving grace were the crispy mac and cheese edges. They taste…More »
