When I was in Seattle this year, it was actually sleepless due to a nasty sinus infection! I met up with a friend after I got a ton of antibiotics from the local Zoom+Care (highly recommend this spot over a general Urgent Care). We did all the things a tourist in Seattle needs to do, and we checked out all the best food. Here is my Top Ten List with a bit of background info on each to make your visit even better!

  1. The Space Needle  – Do not climb up onto the glass to take photos, you will be asked to leave immediately.
  2. Heartwood Provisions – Try The Original Provision beef jerky as an appetizer, it’s the “original” for a reason.
  3. Smith Tower – Chat up the elevator operator, he knows ALL of the fun facts.
  4. Pike Place Market – In the middle fish market, they SING. Stick around for it. They also throw throw fish, which makes for a great Boomerang video.
  5. Mee Sum Pastry – BBQ PORK BUNS. That is All.
  6. Zig Zag Cafe – The Mother of Dragons cocktail is all of your GOT dreams come true. Also – their happy hour pricing is bomb.
  7. Gum Wall – It seems gross, and it is, but it looks awesome. It’s sort of hard to find, but jet down the stairs underneath the Public Market sign and you’re right there.
  8. Michou Deli – Quickest and most delicious lunch I’ve had in a while. It’s cash only though – so come prepared!
  9. Museum of Pop – So this *could* be lame, but I became a hip-hop DJ, video game superstar and toured the Marvel Exhibit all within an hour – let your inner nerd rejoice!
  10. Lecosho – Charcuterie & whiskey is all you need in life, honestly.
