This store traffics in the kind of gift your teenage cousin with a certain sense of humor would enjoy. They have most of the collection of action figures including the complete librarian and one of the popes. They also traffic in devil ducks and pez candy. This can be a fun store to visit if you are in the right mood or need to purchase cheap party favors. Prices are relatively low but there is often a long line so check out their website as well.

Out of all the greasy fast food chains I have to pledge my allegiance to Jack in the Box. Jack in the Box makes great hand whipped milkshakes that actually include milk. They also have a very diversified menu that includes some healthy choices such as salads and fruit cups. But best of all-they actually make your sandwich after you order it so it tastes somewhat fresh. If go to their website you can find a nutritional breakdown chart of their entire menu so if you are going to pig out you can do so well informed. Prices are in line with other fast food outlets and service is usually friendly.

Peets Coffee's smooth taste can be a welcome change to drinking Starbuck's. Peet's really focuses on their coffee and has an excellent selection of decaf including decaf moca java. While you can buy most of these products in the store you should also look at their website where you can purchase samplers and join the coffee of the month club. You can also check the balance of your Peet's card on line. The employees here are always friendly and knowledgeable. You can also purchase tea at Peet's from a selection that rivals their coffee selection.

Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle has been around for a very long time but they have managed to change the exhibits in the zoo to make it more humane and accessible. The African village provides a great learning experience for little children with limited experiences of any world outside of Seattle. While the nocturnal house is a favorite for kids of all ages with its simulated dark jungle. The zoo is the perfect size for a preschooler who will be able to make it through most of the zoo but will be ready to take a nap by the time you circle back around to the gate. The zoo also offers zoo tunes concerts in the summer and they always have a great line up.

The Container Store (locations both on line and in Bellevue) can either be a dream come true or a nightmare shopping experience depending on your personality. There are items in here to organize things that you didn't even know needed to be organized. Prices are a little high I think-it is possible to find these things elsewhere but of course that would not be the organized efficient way to do things. There are some interesting items in the travel section including plenty of plastic see through bags for your toiletries and they do occasionally have sales. Customer service is helpful and friendly.

Saks is familiar to many of you but to those who are not aware it is a upscale store that occasionally has great sales both through their regular store and through their outlet stores. I recently found a Searle coat that cost 1500 dollars for 400 during a Saks sale. Customer service is not as good as at Barney's and the store tends to have a more carnivalesque atmosphere-espically on the weekends but Saks can still be a worthwhile store to browse through. Saks is like other department stores and sells clothing,accessories and shoes for men/women

Chipotle is one of the better places to go if you need a quick bite. There are many vegetarian options such as the bean burrito and cheese tacos. Chipotle uses the right mix of spices in their rice and sauces that really add to the quality level of the food. Service is great for a fast food restaurant and the restaurant is cleaner than the average fast food restaurant.

One Washington Circle has a lot going for it. It is located right across from George Washington University in the Foggy Bottom District and is right by a metro stop. It offers many good deals throughout the year on its rooms and each room has a kitchenette. The problem with this hotel is the high level of incompetence among the staff. Upon check in my friend was given the wrong room and I had the wrong credit card billed upon check out-a mess that took the front desk a very long time to straighten out. The rooms, however, are clean and comfortable. If you are willing to tolerate some incompetence in exchange for a lower price/good location I would recommend this hotel.

Berks is a small store with an eclectic selection just off Harvard Square. The shoes here are very nice and comfortable for walking around. They sell both mens and womens shoes. Sometimes the store has good sales but many of the more upscale brands don't go on sale. This is one of the few places I have seen on the east coast that sell Doc Martens. Other brands represented here include
Born, Dansko, fashion sneakers, etc. Prices are in line with prices elsewhere for the same brands. The return policy here though is not great so if you can buy somewhere else with a better return policy I would advise that you do so. Customer service is very helpful.

I can remember going to the Tower stores in Bellevue before they closed down. In the early nineties they seemed to have everything. Unfortunately, they have declared bankruptcy and will be closing in a few months. But, until they close they are still a business and with their new prices (20 to 40 percent off) it is worth going. Tower cannot rival online stores in certain areas but they do have a great selection of local music that is hard to find online. They also have a great classical music section and will allow you to listen to their music in the store before you buy. Customer service here has always been great and the ambiance likewise great. So shop at Tower now before they close.
