Jeesh. You go away for a week and...
1) The mostly trustable Stranger weighs in on 3 neighborhood drinking spots including the popular Starlite Lounge, profiled here on Uptown a few weeks ago. The article also writes up the venerable Nite Lite and Western Ave newbie, the Twilight Martini Lounge. We visited the TML about a month ago but decided not to write it up because of that thing your mother used to tell you about what you should do if you don't have anything nice say. The Stranger calls TML
crepuscular which, we're happy to report, means dim.
2) & 3) Seattle's best foodie gives us the other 2/3 of our welcome home food basket with two good tips on new things to chow in the general vicinity. First, she reports on a new hotel and restaurant in the old Vance Hotel space called Red Fin. Somebody better call a lawyer.
But even more exciting to us is the first account we've read of a visit to the much anticipated re-opening of the Boat Street Cafe & Kitchen. Girl is crazy. She drove all the way from Renton(!) to have the meal -- 'sooooo worth the drive,' she says. We hope to report soon.
Oh yeah, one bonus item. The PI ran an interesting piece last month that we missed about haunt spots in Seattle -- it makes a nice companion to our post about ghosts in Belltown.

I'm kind of sad the Vance is gone. It was my dad's favorite hotel in Seattle because he could always find it with that big sign on top.
We like your dad :) Sorry to be ahistorical -- we wonder which of our gems will be buried by future 'progress.' Most likely to live forever: Minnie's :)
