I know itās overpriced but it smells like gourmet rotisserie chicken, plays jazz, has better sushi and sandwiches than Wegmanās, and I never see DoorDash shoppers whipping around in there.

šI mean ya I guess itās well-known but I went there at least weekly when I lived out east and itās very fun to look around at the different vendors. Thereās a really good crepe spot there :)

Specifically the downstairs Lincoln Center Whole Foods, with its windowless cafeteria. My favorite place for my thirty minute lunch break. A midtown third space oasis.
Youāve got it allāyour tour groups, your business men, Bad Roman, bad public art. A place Iām strangely nostalgic for, as it was one of the first places I visited on my first trip to New York (in 2015, on a high school band field trip).
One day I may have to write a Benjaminian Arcades Project-esque ode to this particular commercial complex.

š½people hate on seattle restaurants a lot.
sure, itās not chicago or nyc, but my goal is to make a list that will make some non-locals a bit jealousā¦ :)
1. carnitas michoacan: itās hard to find mexican food in seattle, but the southern neighborhood of beacon hill is an oasis of good mexican food. and even employees of the other mexican restaurants admit that they like carnitas michoacan the best š« 2. chebogz: also in beacon hill, itās the rare filipino place that isnāt too greasy for me but is still tasty. very solid comfort food and a small menu (which I like). thereās a really expensive filipino place down the street called musang that is pretty good, but why break the bank? get some bang for your buck at chebogz instead, feat. one of the largest portion sizes in seattle šµš 3. fortune garden: this is one of those classic big menu cantonese places that are slowly going out of business in seattle. Iāve have had many good experiences here, it used to be my go-to spot when I was taking the train back to the airport. especially like their buddhaās delightā it has so many exciting ingredients for a vegetarian dish and I never quite knew what I was eating. just donāt get the salted fishā that shit is way too salty. š„ 4. golden daisy: okay I swear this is the last beacon hill place but this is a chinese restaurant with like two employees that looks very janky on the inside. much of the building is unfinished, there are flies, and the cashier chops your meat right in front of you at the counter. and itās soooo good. food safety is overrated tbh š¦ 5. loving hut: I found this restaurant from a reddit thread about where you can find a cult in seattle. and yeah, there is definitely something off about this placeā itās always screening āsupreme master tvā and they have this little altar to a living quasi-religious figure. they also barrage you with every known flavor of vegan propaganda. but itās chill bc their vegan food is FIREā¦ I brought a sworn carnivore here once and their āshrimpā stunned him into silence š 6. manao street eats: I used to be a thai food hater, but seattle is winning me over. manao is this fast casual place in cap hill that has no right to be as good as it is. Iāve liked everything on their menu the pad see ew? fire. the pad grapau? also fire. š² 7. mark thai food box: pretty similar to manao, itās this fast casual place in u-district that focuses on bento box-style thai food. idk what these ppl put in their rice but it is very fucking good. expensive for a place where you canāt sit down though. š 8. pi vegan pizzeria: if thereās one cuisine where seattle can punch above its weight, itās vegan food. to be honest this might be the best pizza Iāve had in seattle, idk if that says more about its banger vegan scene or its depressing pizza sceneā¦š 9. skalka: this is a georgian place with one thing on its menu: khachupuri, which is this fucking amazing bread boat. my friend who has had authentic georgian food claimed that it was quite good for a place in americaā georgian food being the āitalian food of eastern europeā. fun place to take out-of-towners as it is really close to all the touristy stuff at pike place. š¬šŖ 10. spice waala: affordable indian fast casual place in north cap hill with very good wraps. it smells very good in there. the experience is complemented by a visit to nearby adaās technical books š
with all that being said, my fav restaurants in seattle are prob just chipotle and dough zone. go ahead and roast meā¦
