Wow, we had not heard about this place, until we happened to be a Jalisco's (a great Mexican restaurant on Capital Hill), the waiter said he's just been to Acme to bowl and it was terrific.
We took our kids birthday party in tow and headed down there. Wow, it is way nicer than Sunset Bowl (no smoking!) and although it is expensive ($90 for six people, two lanes, shoe rentals and two games), it is worth it.
It is clean and has lots of flat screen TVs everywhere. There is a bar and a restaurant too. It is brand new and across from the Mervyns. See http://acmebowl.com for more details. 100 Andover Park West, Tukwila, WA 98188 Main: 206.340.ACME

We've been using Susan for the last 10 years or so, she is great with kids and very responsible with adults. She does a good job on general care and most importantly on doing preventative things.
Give her a try :-)

Well, it ain't no World Wrapps with chic flavors, but it is authentic and good. For 7 bucks, you can get a nice burrito that tastes not of salt but really is spicy and the rice is tasty.
The place is a complete whole in the wall, but they do have some stools, athough most folks seem to take their stuff and run. They have real mexican sodas too.
I could be sick tomorrow, but I've eaten there twice and it is easy and cheap on Eastlake.

I'm going to like I think :-) In any case, this is a modern Italian restaurant in midtown on 55th St, it is has a great location across from the big city theater. I was jet lagged after a 14 hour trip to get there, but the food did impress.
The food there is very good northern Italian. I had the chop and it was terrific. The appetizers are very nice too and if you are smart let someone there select a nice Italian red to go with your dinner.
Desserts are the typical amazing fare :-)

Hotels in NYC are outrageously expensive, but as hotels go, this one is quite nice mainly because it is right in the heart of midtown where you can usually find mega skyscrapers, but the boutiques are expensive.
The room was very small, but the service was quite good. We had a small meeting there and it is in the basement, but the food for breakfast was OK.
Recommend it if you have money for a good midtown location but don't want the pretentiousness of a Carlyle (or the price for that matter).

I was reminded once again how much I like the Garden Court. It is right in the middle of Palo Alto and with the renaissance of the center there, there are fewer t-shirt shops and many more classy restaurants.
The Garden Court is de rigour for the Stanford MBA events, but it is really a nice hotel. Free wifi and Internet and they are now part of an exclusive chain.
The service if anything is better than ever and I really like the winebar and the morning coffee and danish they serve. Also this is one of the few places with parking in central Palo Alto.

I had a dinner with some folks there last week, it is right at Emerson and University in Palo Alto, so convenient to get to. They have a great wine list (which restaurants in tony Palo Alto don't). Metroactive (http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/10.10.02/dining-0241.html) seems to have the best reviews of local Palo Alto eateries.
My buddies who took me there recommended the lamb and the veal chops. I have to say they were terrific as was all the wines. You really need to go there with friends as there are so many different things to try. I also had their .
If you are wondering, Lavanda is Italian for lavender and the chef is a well know fellow down there. His name is Clyde Griesbach and he was at Marbella, Azur and Goosetown Café.

Well, I don't know how authentic it is, but Shiok is a great find in Menlo Park, its on a quiet street and it has great teas including the lime one that I had where you got to pour your own sweetener in. The shrimp was really tasty and the service was quick.
My buddy who goes there quite a bit tells me it is very reliable.
A perfect hangout right around the corner from the glitz of Stanford Shopping Center. Glad there are still places like this on the Peninsula.

It wasn't clear from this if you want a landscaper or a landscape architect. This review is for an architect to plan a project.
We've had her work on a small landscaping, a big one and then a whole front lawn and she's done great each time. Not the cheapest, but you'll get a really creative design that really uses Northwest native plants.
If you are looking for the ball of evergreen and the big green lawn, she's not the right person, but she did for us one project where she used waving native grasses that looked just great. In another project, she took a really bare naked lawn and used creative hardscaping to break up the sight lines (a la Central Park or our very own Lake Washington Blvd) to make everything super private.

The folks at Sprague do our regular pest control maintenance. They are good about coming regularly and they do a good job.
Our main problem has been carpenter ants, but when you need a nasty yellow jacket nest taken care of, they will do it.
They are environmentally sensitive to the extent you can be, so there are some spots where we don't spray but just watch for the big ants. BTW, this was a bad year, so keep on the look out. Carpenter ants are rampant in Seattle.
