+ Honoré, La Toscanella.
There, that's better. Owners of Crumble and Toscanella are assholes, but their products are very good. Honoré is the best in the city.
Used to walk by Crumble and Flake on my way to work. Was excited when it opened because it way something new on my path. Honestly thought it was overrated, never understood the lines.
My suggestion: Go right up the block to Montana and get a Moscow Mule. Rachel from Rachel's Ginger Beer is one of the owners and they have her Ginger Beer on tap and use it for their MMs. sogood.gif
Edit: Oh oh! If you want the best brunch ever go to Señor Moose. Bit far from downtown if you don't have a car, though.

That's some serious DTF down-playing. If by "dim sum place" you mean they make the best dumplings in the entire world, then yeah, sure, DTF is a dim sum place. There's two locations, one by the University and one in Bellevue.
If you're downtown and into dorky tourist stuff, The Underground Tour is a sort of good Seattle history lesson. The audacity of the engineering project to rebuild Seattle on top of itself is bonkers.
On weekends you can go to Volunteer Park on Cap Hill I think there's a pretty regular LARP / goofballs-hitting-each-other-with-foam-swords crew. Also I really like the graveyard by there, and there's some good elevated lookouts out East toward Lake Washington. Not too exciting, but the area's pretty good for flopping around on a sunny morning.

The Great Wheel is nice to look at from a distance at night; as an actual attraction, that thing is a Great Ripoff. Don't waste your money.

I wouldn't say DTF is best in the "world" it's good but lets not get carry away.
My Chinese father in law says they are.

Necromanti, I'm enjoying our window exchanges.

You seem keen to take it to the next level, but I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. 
Or maybe I'm just being tsundere.
Where is this?
I've never had better dumplings than the one in Taipei (and the one in Seattle is quite great too).
And speaking of deservedly hyped food places, go to Salumi.

So due to an unexpected event
, ill be moving to Seattle from Florida. Obvious anxiety aside, what am I in for? I'm really into outdoor activities, and never had a problem socializing with people. It's rough having to sell my house and start over at 29 :/
(divorce)
I'm so sorry to hear.
Luckily, if you love outdoor activities and socializing with people, Seattle will be great for you. Any time of year, there will be something for you to do. Whether running around Green Lake, or hiking, or kayaking, or biking, or anything else.

Sounds great! Funny enough my best friend who lives out there says I'll fit in because I drive a Subaru imprezza. Im looking into employment with hospitals out there or possibly a attempt to become a park ranger/game warden. I'm not too concernd because of my pension so financially I'll do fine.
The Pac-NW is the land of Subaru. I have an Impreza and a Legacy wagon lol.

I sold my dodge challenger a picked up the WRX. I love this car, Im house hunting for a reasonable place with a garage so I can baby it. It's going to be a culture shock from leaving a heavy Latin area to the Cascades.
The most awesome place ever.
Between 15th and 10th on North Capitol Hill.
Sorry to hear that.
Sounds like this will be your kind of place. There are shitloads of outdoorsy things to do within driving distance from the city and you'll find interesting people to socialize with.
If you can handle only 3 months of real sunshine in a year, you'll be just fine.
Are you buying or renting?

Renting the first year, if I like it I'll purchase a home soon after.

What sort of hospital employment? I could probably have someone pass your resume along if it happens to be oncology nursing.

Unfortunately it's not oncology nor nursing, Im just a Telehealth system tech. When patients are discharged I visit them and train them with the installation and operation of all medical equipment. So when nurses arrive for visits half of their workload is automated and complete.

Ah well, good luck anyway
Anyone who is an MtG fan, there's a charity draft at The Dreaming today..
12:30 PM sign up - Regular $15 Theros/Born of the Gods draft.
6:30 PM sign up - Triple Zendikar pay what you want (minimum $5 buy in) draft. However you can be outbid for your spot.
All proceeds go to charity. An anti-cancer charity IIRC.

The family and I just got back from Discovery Park and Uneeda Burger. Beautiful day, I actually have tons of work to do, but I'd rather enjoy the day with the family and try to hack it out at night as opposed to miss out on a day like today.

Just got home from Tokyo. Flew over the Olympics and had a great view of Rainier. Good to be home.
It was wonderful. But now you're making me want a margarita!
distantmantra
Member
I'd rather not. Don't want to remind evryone how inferior our best ramen is compared to anything over there. Jealous.
Ok, ok. Had amaaaazing jiro ramen at Maccho in Osaka, tantanmen twice at Kohmen plus their shiso gyoza, spicy yuzu ramen at Aufri, and a couple other random places in Osaka. All of it was goooooood.
fuck. Now I remember why I shouldn't have asked.

Well I was legitimately craving Ramen....

I know. It's getting better, but nothing cones close to tantanmen over here. :-(

One of the very few things I miss about Texas is the Margarita season. It's far longer there than here.
What a coincidence. I was just thinking about making that trip after E3, and hiking to the summit.
-- Eww. That's like ... poor college people food. Get on board the greek food train.
Shake my head.

SO MUCH SHAKE MY HEAD.
And don't forget to head over to Shorty's for some pinball and PBRs.
Indeed. They're really good. But I call BS on BITW.
That's.....random. (lack of context makes it sound odd, lol)
I live on Cap/First Hill (home of the hospitals) so lemme know if you find a job around there and need a place to live. I can try and give you some suggestions!
Edit: Read one of your responses--makes more sense now.
IMO it's Card Kingdom, hands down. Any Games Workshop in the area has awful people running their sessions and tournaments. But I'm merely an observer and occasional attendee, not a player. So take that for what it's worth.
Agreed. But Kukai out near my work in Bellevue is pretty fantastic. There at least twice a week for lunch or dinner.
You poor ignorant bastard.
This is ramen, not that dehydrated noodle shit.
Even that pic looks awful.
Ok, it's not bad actually...
