Arts & Culture

So special, especially in Spring and Summer. It's small enough to do as part of a longer day and you won't find anything else like this place. My fave tourist attraction.

It's all good. I like the kale salad with fried chicken. Rich but not going to make you nap after. Also the chilaquiles are delicious.

Everything Else

A must if you are strolling Alki beach. Nibble shave ice and kimchi fried rice while looking at the Sound. Then maybe rent a kayak or paddle board next door.

Go hungry and early and on a weekday if you want to avoid crowds. Love shopping at the Souk, grabbing pork buns at Mee Sum, sipping a moscow mule at Rachel's Ginger beer and leaving with an armful of flowers. It's a whole other scene at night, too.
