All the Best is Almost the Best

When it comes to food, Seattleites are known for being health conscious. Expect no less when it comes to feeding their pets. All the Best Pet Care provides a wide selection of healthy food choices for both cats and dogs. The service is outstanding; the staff provide ample information on the products, especially the food. Be aware that the employees tend to push the more expensive products, although this is the case with most businesses. All the Best Pet Care is slowly making a move on Mud Bay as first place to go to buy great pet products.

Not Bad If You're Not Picky

I don't want to post a full-blown review because I'm not 100% sure this is the place, but it's located a stones throw south of the "nexus". We've bought random junk here. Occasionally you can find a bargain depending on the seller (it works like a consignment shop, I think). Anyway, I'd check it out just because of the random selection of items. There is fairly decent selection from different eras and the stuff isn't so outlandish you can't afford it.

So Pop Tots is open again. It's just south of 65th on Roosevelt.
With AC/DC t-shirts and little leather biker duds, Pop Tots is the place to punk out your toddler. While the prices are a little high, the selection is attractive and fills that fun hipster/punk niche nicely. One example of a higher priced item is the little newsboy cap. At Pop Tots, one will run you around $30, while at Baby Gap it will cost you about half that. The prices are what really drives this store to more of a "gift shop" status, rather than a regular place to buy the little ones clothes. You can save that for hand-me-downs or big box stores. However, if you're looking for a place to buy your best friend's newbie a little KISS shirt or a place to send your hipster Grandma to get your toddler some cool outfits, this is it.

It's coffee

Their coffee is pretty good. Their coffee cake is okay. This is really a place you go if you want to buy from a local place instead of a big chain. The staff is friendly and they usually have a trivia question up everyday, which is kind of nice. It gets the brain working a little bit.

Duck in, duck out
The one thing I like about this place is that it's quiet. There can be 25 people in the place and you don't have to raise your voice in order to be heard. This is the kind of place where you go to...
The one thing I like about this place is that it's quiet. There can be 25 people in the place and you don't have to raise your voice in order to be heard. This is the kind of place where you go to catch up with an old friend. Fairly non-descript, not exceptionally comfortable but it has a warmer feel to it on a cool autumn evening.

This is a very comfortable place to watch some sports on television or just grab a drink with a few friends. It has a friendly neighborhood atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. Expect to pay around $12 for a pitcher. There are also a couple of pool tables and you can most often find one open to play.

Good Once in a While

This is not a place you go to all the time unless you really like pot pies. With that said, their pies are scrumptious. I usually get the Mediterranean since I'm big on artichokes, but their classic chicken and steak and potato are both safe bets. The menu is reasonably priced.
The one thing about this place is that it feels like it should be a nice little family restaurant. Every time I've been into Pies and Pints, there have been children milling around their parents and grandparents, which isn't a bad thing, but they appear rather bored and restless. If they had something on the menu geared toward kids or just something for the kids to do, it would be more family friendly. However, this apparently hasn't stopped people from taking their children there.

A Great Story for Everyone
I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. Edith Grossman's rendition is delightful, funny, sad and plainly written. I've never laughed out loud so much to a classic as I did with this...
I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. Edith Grossman's rendition is delightful, funny, sad and plainly written. I've never laughed out loud so much to a classic as I did with this one.
Don Quixote, more than anything, is a story of imagination. It is such a rich book, you could read it to children at bedtime or deconstruct it in a college literture class.

This camera takes outstanding pictures even if you don't. It's simple to use; there are just a couple of buttons on top and it has a nice framing tool to help you focus on your subject. The flash works quite well, surprisingly, in low light. It's a nice step above a point-and-click, but with far superior pictures.

I'm not going to sit here and say my friend, David, coined the term "Food Porn" for Whole Foods, but this is essentially what shopping here is like; it's like porn for food, the most ridiculous grocery store any shopper can experience. If you don't believe me, walk in there and take a bite of a Fuji.
If you're actually looking here to find out what Whole Foods is all about, you probably a) live in a closet, b) live in a rural town in Western Montana or c) were just born. In the case of "c" congratulations. We look forward to your stay here. The Whole Foods experience cannot be written, it cannot be spoken, only experienced.
Of course, there is always another side to the story. Whole Foods is not just food porn, but it's kind of like Ivy League food porn. I'm talking about high class here. It's not like you just walk in and start waving $20 bills at the herbs (although you're guaranteed to spend no less while you're there).
Oh no, this place will educate you. The reason, you ask? It's all about branding. You don't walk down the condiment aisle looking for the Kraft mayo. No way, |
