October 24, 2007, 2:53 pm
For months, restaurateurs Scott and Heather Staples have pondered the inside of a nondescript gray building on a busy corner of Seattle's Capitol Hill, home of their new gastropub, Quinn's.

June 25, 2007, 12:15 pm
They looked like a million-dollar photo shoot for the Seattle lifestyle. Clutching dog leashes and yoga mats. Carrying colorful shopping totes and half-caf-no-foams. Pedaling bicycles and pushing strollers as they stopped to stare at the menu posted outside Opal. Meanwhile, I sat inside this new... » View Article

June 18, 2007, 12:35 pm
Say hello to my friend Al Fresco. I love him crazy. And I know you do, too. He's everywhere these days — sitting seductively on the sidewalk, gallivanting in the garden, preening on the patio and dancing on the deck.

A newcomer's guide to summer in Seattle
May 17, 2007, 12:42 pm
You might have noticed that Pugetopolis isn't, well, exactly like the rest of the world. We rarely honk our horns in anger. You'll more often get a perky wave from another driver than a one-finger salute. We do tend to have two coffee houses at every corner. We dig clams. We wear Gore-Tex to... » View Article

Steelhead Diner a glorious gumbo of Market-fresh eats
April 9, 2007, 11:31 am
Whenever my grandparents went on vacation, they'd bring me a souvenir. Had I saved those paper placemats from diners along their route, I'd be sitting pretty on a stack of U.S. presidents, states and their capitols and greetings like "Welcome to Atlantic City, N.J.!"

March 26, 2007, 12:00 pm
In one quadrant of the dim, votive-lit space a group of gal-pals sang Norwegian drinking songs. Across the room other drinkers lifted glasses and voices, responding in Swedish with their own tipsy tunes. Me? I was sitting alone at the bar at Copper Gate (6301 24th Ave. N.W., Seattle,... » View Article

The new La Spiga is bigger, glossier — and still fantastico!
March 20, 2007, 5:15 pm
Four old guys sat sipping red wine at Osteria La Spiga, laughing, gesticulating and chatting in Italian before one of them stood and burst into song. Between sips and song they spooned zuppa and ate piadina, the ubiquitous flatbread of the Romagna region of Northern Italy. Noticing a woman with... » View Article

March 12, 2007, 6:26 pm
Is Queen Anne the new hotspot for dining out?
