Tuk Tuk Thai recently opened nearby on Dravus St. They make it spicy for those looking for a relatively inexpensive, but delicious meal. We wholly recommend any of the special curries and the popcorn chicken.

This more affordable cousin of Palisade is located in the Smith Cove Marina. They serve standard fare (fish tacos, burgers, salads, iced tea, and local beers). It's a lovely place to sit, eat your lunch, and look at the sail boats.

My mother insists that we eat here every time she visits. This particular restaurant has a sit-down option and walk-up window. (We recommend the walk-up window for lunch.) They make outstanding fish and chips. We also recommend the New Jersey chowder (a mix of the New England and New York chowders). This is also where a good part of the Pacific fishing fleet docks, so fans of "The Most Dangerous Catch" may see some of their favorite boats.

Slate Coffee Roasters is one of the companies really raising the bar on coffee culture around here. It's out of the way. But is the best $5 cup of coffee you'll ever have. Leave the cream and sugar alone and ask the barista for a recommendation.

This is, quite possibly, my favorite place in Seattle. This family-run place makes OUTSTANDING food. It's good for mixed groups. They do not serve alcohol. If you do nothing else, pop in and get a sour cherry lemonade to go.

Parks & Nature

Discovery Park, on the northwest bluff of Magnolia, has a lovely interpretive center, a beach (during summer weekends you can catch a shuttle from the interpretive center to the beach), and several lovely hiking trails. It's a lovely escape from the city, just downtown.

Try this as an alternative to the Space Needle. It's less crowded and expensive and you can get a pretty good nosh and enjoy the view. (Smith Tower was, briefly, the tallest building on the West Coast in about 1920.)

Shopping

Old Ballard Avenue is actually a recent development in Seattle. This once quiet neighborhood has become THE place to catch a show (The Tractor Tavern), do some shopping, or find a great meal (The Walrus & The Carpenter, Bastile, Carta Oaxaca, 8oz Burger Company), a fancy cocktail, or a not-so-fancy beverage.
