]]>Plum Bistro offers delicious and creative vegan dishes, many of which feature plant-based protein options such a Reuben sandwich with tofu pastrami. The menu features a mix of comfort food and upscale fare, while the cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for an evening out.
Harvest Beat is a fine dining restaurant with a focus on organic and locally sourced ingredients, so its menu changes often to reflect the seasons. Guests can enjoy 5-course prix-fixe meals that are designed to reduce food waste while highlighting a variety of delicious seasonal fruits and veggies.
For out-of-this-world cocktails, mocktails, and bar food, be sure to check out Life on Mars. This vegan restaurant is casual enough for a night out with friends, yet cozy enough for a romantic date night. Whatever the occasion, we recommend trying the cauliflower wings with garlic-butter parmesan.

]]>Bad art can’t be that bad, right? Well, you can test that out by visiting the Official Bad Art Museum of Art. Dedicated to bad art in all its forms, it’s a quite unique place that will make you appreciate good art even more.
While technically a shop, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is better known for its unusual exhibits that range from mummies to totem poles, 19th-century Russian samovar, antique weapons, netsuke sculptures, and much more. Over a million people visit the shop/museum each year.
As you might guess, Seattle Pinball Museum is dedicated to vintage pinball machines. The place has an impressive collection that consists of more than 50 machines and visitors can test out each one.
This might be the only museum in the world dedicated to rubber chickens. It has both the largest and the smallest rubber chicken on display, as well as dozens of other rubber chicken items on display.

]]>Seattle’s location on the Puget Sound is a short ferry ride away from several islands off the coast of Washington that are also worth a visit. Enjoy views of the city against the Olympic mountains on the way to islands like Vashon or Bainbridge without having to worry about being cold on the way.
While beautiful year round, most of the area’s beaches are too cold to enjoy outside the summer months. We definitely recommend taking advantage of the warm weather by heading to the beach when the air is warm and the sun is shining. Our favorite Seattle beaches are Alki Beach and Golden Gardens Park.
Washington is the largest berry producing state in the U.S. and there are plenty of places where tourists and locals can pick their own berries as well. One of our favorite places to pick fruit is Johnson Berry Farm.

]]>If you can’t resist exploring art museums in each new city you go to, this is the best one you’ll find in all of Seattle. In addition to the main museum in downtown Seattle featuring 25,000 pieces, there are several more cultural institutions under SAM’s jurisdiction including the Olympic Sculpture Park and the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
Seattle is home to the world’s largest private air and space museum, which welcomes half a million visitors every year. The Museum of Flight has many historic aircraft and space vehicles on display, but it also runs many educational programs.
The Museum of Pop Culture has only been around since 2020, but that didn’t stop it from growing into one of Seattle’s top attractions. It’s housed inside a modern building by the famed architect Frank Gehry, and its collection covers everything from science fiction, video games, and music, with a special focus on the iconic Seattle musician Jimi Hendrix.

]]>Your first stop should definitely be the Museum of Pop Culture, located at 325 5th Ave N. The museum is the place to learn more about the city’s grunge history and check out exhibitions dedicated to the iconic grunge bands.
Central Saloon, located at 207 1st Ave S, is considered one of the most important venues in grunge. The place hosted almost all of the genre’s most influential bands, and there are still posters and memorabilia from some of those shows hanging on the walls. According to the legend, it was at this venue that Nirvana landed the deal for their first album, Bleach.
At first glance, Viretta Park is just a small city park in the Denny-Blaine neighborhood with nothing special to offer aside from calming nature. However, this is an important place for grunge fans, especially those who like Nirvana. The benches in the park are considered unofficial memorials of the band’s late frontman Kurt Cobain and are covered with lyrics, messages, and letters written in his honor.
Bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Temple of the Dog recorded their early demos and albums at London Bridge Studio. Located at 20021 Ballinger Way NE, the studio is still in business and offers tours for fans who want to see where the music history was made.

]]>One of the central concepts of Danish culture is “hygge” (pronounced “hoo-guh”), a word which can be roughly interpreted as “comfy”, “cozy”, or “familiar.” Denmark has very little sun for the wintry half of its year, and as such, each and every business is designed for maximum coziness. Tables always have candles on them, and places are decorated with warm tones and great care.
Seattle is well known as one of the rainiest spots in the USA. Residents get used to living in damp, becoming experts at staying dry, and knowing when it’s okay to get a little wet. Thanks to the rain, outdoor activities don’t abound in Seattle … but there are lots of awesome places to sit and activities to do inside. Since it’s got a largely young population, there are also lots of thrifty shops and new age coffee shops from which to watch the rain as it falls.
Cologne has more rainy days in the year than sunny, but that’s no reason not to go. They have a cable car with beautiful views of the city even in the rain, and the largest Gothic church in northern Europe which is even more amazing to view in the rain. There are also lots of great indoor activities, especially unique museums like the Chocolate Museum, the Fragrance Museum, and the Museum of Applied Arts.

]]>Starbucks’ biggest fans know that this company was originally founded in Seattle. The first store to ever open its doors in this city in 1971 was located at 2000 Western Avenue, but it changed its address five years later. It moved to 1912 Pike Place, the iconic address that’s now known by the nickname the Original Starbucks.
This may not be the first Starbucks to ever exist, but there’s something that sets it apart from any other store in the world. It’s been almost 50 years since this store stood in the same place, but it still looks the same way it did before: floors, fixtures, counters, and all!
Over the years, the Original Starbucks became one of Seattle’s top tourist attractions thanks to its unique, retro feel. Its doors are open between 7 am and 9 pm every day, and tourists from all around the world don’t mind waiting in long lines to get a fresh cup of coffee, even if it takes hours.

]]>Foodies who like baseball will find no shortage of parks to visit to try some of baseball’s most iconic snacks. Here are some of the highlights you can find around the league.
Dodger Stadium is the home of the Dodger Dog, one of the most famous concession items in all of America. This 10-inch pork sausage served in a steamed bun is usually topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped onions and represents the most typical of baseball foods.
Are you looking for something a little more out-of-the-box? The toasted grasshoppers served at the Seattle Mariners’ home stadium will run you only $5 and give you a crunchy, protein-filled snack that’s delicious if you aren’t too scared to try it. Seasoned with chili and lime, you’ll be surprised at how good this adaptation of a Mexican street food is.
French fry lovers who want to try some of America’s best should make time to go to a Phillies game if they’re ever in Philadelphia. Here, Chickie and Pete’s serves up “Crabfries,” a delicious bucket of seasoned fries that are served with white cheddar dipping sauce in an irresistible combination.
