The menu at this place can be daunting, not the least because there are easily 6 dozen options, and most options can either be made vegetarian or filled with any one of half a dozen types of meat. Once you finally make up your mind and go grab a seat, it all comes out pretty quickly, and mmmm mmmm does it taste good. Then again, most of what I get tends to include salty meat and is fried, so it's hard to go wrong. The price is decent, and the service is great.

Matt's in the Market is a great find for those who like steakhouse-quality food and wine without the steakhouse-level pretension, or, for that matter, without the steak. That's not to say that they don't serve meat (or that its clientele isn't entirely without pretension) but they tend to focus on fish, although they do have very good vegetarian food. And as for the snootiness, well, a little sophistication now and again can always be fun.
The menu changes with the seasons, but is generally short and quite tasty. The deserts change nightly, and are always amazing.

I love Taste of India. My Indian fiancé hates the place. She claims the food isn't authentic, and I have to say, having not yet been to India, that she may be right. But I will say this: things can taste great without being authentic, and I think this food taste great. Really, I have yet to try a curry here I didn't like, and 2 specialty nans will easily fill you up.
Another nice feature is the bottomless Chai. Fortunatley, caffine doesn't affect me very much, so unlike my friends I can drink a lot of this and enjoy the taste without suffering hypertension.

This walk in hole-in-the-wall deli in the middle of the Pike Place Market centers around Italian concepts, but ranges all around the globe in the seasoning and presentation. There are two main type of food to get here - deli portions of gourmet dishes, or massive panini grilled sandwiches. For lunches I tend to gravitate toward the sandwiches, which are amazingly priced at roughly $5, or half that, if you want a sane portion and only half a sandwich.

Ok, so the name of the place leaves a little creativity to be desired. You have to admit that can be said of names of most Thai dishes. Don't let the simplicity of the name fool you, though - these guys know their stuff, be it the spring roles, the soups, the Phad See Ewe, or, yes, even the Phad Thai. For those that have a hard time tolerating spice, be warned that depending on who's cooking, things might get pretty hot. Generally, assume only 1 star is mild - for everything else, add a star or two.

I eat a lot of Chinese food, and very little of it even comes close to the goodness that is Black Pearl. Their meats are tender and flavorful. Their veggies are crisp and substantial. Their noodles are the proper texture. While their menu is substantial, I'd have to say that their General Tso's Chicken is pretty tasty, as is their Sesame Beef. Either way, you owe it to yourself to get a side of their homemade chow mein noodles.

Besides being the only tile showroom open late in Seattle, Seattle Tile Co. has one of the better selections as well. Their helpful staff is glad to work with you in order to figure out what fits your needs, and are not afraid to make recommendations and offer their opinions.
They also have their own installers available as an added service, but frankly I found them rather overpriced. The tiles themselves, however, where quite reasonable.

Sooner or later, anybody in the Seattle area who does electrical engineering projects ends up at Active Electronics. With such a wide supply of chip packages, from clocks to EEPROMS and beyond, they're sure to have what you want. Like Radio Shack, their price is rather steep compared to what you *could* buy it for.... if you were looking for lots of 100,000. But just like everything you go to Radio Shack for, you're looking for more reasonable quantities, and short of getting factory sample units, shopping at Active Electronics is probably the best way to do it.

If you are like me, you don't own a car, but occasionally find yourself needing to get from point a to point b, and public transport simply won't do. You *could* buy a car, but if you need to make less than 10 such round trips a month - or if you plan to do it drunk, high, or otherwise unable to drive - then a cab is probably for you. At roughly $1/minute, a cab isn't cheap if you do it often, but then, owning a car has a pretty high initial monthly cost itself.
As for Yellow Cabs themselves, there's not much to say. You can call their number and have a cab sent to you - depending on the time, the night, your luck, and your location, one will show up anywhere from 1 minute to 15 minutes. Usually, you get a phone call when your cab arrives.

When I found out the hard way that the side sewer on my 97-year old house hadn't been repaired in 80 years and was 30 years overdue for replacement, I started gathering bids. I don't know how many of you have tried to get bids from plumbers, but let me tell you, it's pretty amazing how many plumbers don't bend over backwards to make a good impression, by, say, responding to "hey, I'd like a bid for your business" voicemails. Maybe I have a bad voice.
Anyway, Fischer responded quickly and professionally and gave me a reasonable bid. I got a much better bid from another guy, but not to surprisingly, he flaked out, so Fischer got my business. I actually complicated matters somewhat by having them dig out a section of my basement and line the hole with concrete, for a sunken theatre. There were a few scheduling miscommunications, but by and large, they did a good job.
