The menu is breakfast and lunch friendly, but they also sell a mess of baked goods, including the largest birthday-style cakes I’ve ever seen. The Wandering Goose: A pink door opens to a narrow cafe that’s full of light, darling little plants, and blonde wood.

I plan to swim, grill some pizzas, and drink plenty of wine. The following is a reflection of what I loved in August 2013 if you find a broken link to a closed restaurant sometime in the future, I apologize. Lastly, I only included places I found truly noteworthy, the establishments I’d return to or recommend without reservation.

I was moonstruck by Seattle, and I hope to return. If you live in Seattle or Vancouver, I’d love to hear your opinions about my finds (or better yet, what I didn’t find) in the comments. * I will mention as a kind of disclaimer: I was only in Seattle for one week. I’ve also included an abundance of photos, for your viewing pleasure. There won’t be a recipe this week, but instead, plenty of information about Seattle, and a bit about Vancouver, which we visited for a day. I hope you’ll find the information useful! (Up until now, I’ve been keeping a stack of hand written notes and papers, which is just as disorganized as it sounds.) From this trip on, I plan to share with you what I find. Since I put quite a lot of effort into my researches of the places we visit, I thought the time was ripe for me to start recording my findings somewhere concrete. It’s easier to familiarize culture through food and walking, more so than, say, waiting in line to see the “classic” tourist attractions. Sussing out eateries, and rambling around a city on foot, is my favorite way to get to know a new place. The best way to explore a new city, in my opinion, is by eating your way through it, hungry caterpillar-style. He spent his days at A Large Computer Company, and I spent half my day working in the hotel room, and the other half exploring the city. Last week, I tagged along on one of the Frenchman’s business trips to Seattle.
