I think we all know the feeling of stumbling home in the small hours after a great night out, only to find the freezer devoid of ice cream and the pantry empty of fresh-baked cookies. Whereas in the past I might have satisfied myself with some old pretzel bites or stale cashews, I am now excited to learn that these delights are only a few clicks away, or even a few blocks away if I feel like an evening stroll. Midnight…

With the opening of Thackeray Cafe & Bar, the last empty retail space on the street level of the Brooks Building is now full. My wife and I stopped in on a recent Monday to give it a try. As it happens, we had been to Thackeray on the previous night to check out the bar and conduct an initial reconnaissance. While they have an extensive list of cocktails and a wine list, we were in the mood for beer. Too bad…
Brunch in Seattle? Hour-long waits; cold coffee; over-priced food; the cacophony of unruly children being ignored by hungover parents. There's nothing like it! Thankfully, there is nothing like this at the Seamonster Lounge's Jazz Brunch. Instead, my wife and I were treated to smooth music and friendly, prompt service. We didn't see a single child there (although they are allowed in the space up to 9pm). Brunch is served Saturday & Sunday 10am - 3pm. The time of music varies depending on Seahawks…

Seattleites love their secret restaurant openings; see Stop N Shop for example. I got a tip about a hidden French bakery next to Manolin and went to investigate. Located at N 36th and Stone Way the sign for Sea Wolf is pretty nondescript. I have been waiting years for a French bakery to come to our neighborhood. Now I know we have had some great bakeries that sold croissants over the years, but I'm talking about the type of bakery that sells…
