Aoki Sushi () Map: 1600 Melrose Ave, Seattle 98122 From the outside this bar looks very deceptive, in fact this building used to be an old funeral parlor. The white columns and inconspicuous exterior hide a very trendy, hoppin' bar within. The drinks are a bit pricey and it usually takes a while to get service; however, there is a large selection to choose from and the atmosphere is very cool. I highly recommend the Chapel.

The Jolly Roger Taproom () Map: 1514 N.W. Leary Way, Seattle 98107 Ahoy matey! Actually located in Ballard, the Jolly Roger Tavern is a small brewery/pub that offers excellent food and a good selection of microbrews for yer enjoyment. The best part of the place is that it's decorated with a pirate theme!

Haven't been to any restaurants here...yet.

Kell's Irish Pub () Map: 2222 Second Avenue, Seattle 98121 I've tried several of the dishes here. The best value for your money is the beef stew. You get a lot of food compared to some of the other dishes. I have also tried the corned beef and cabbage, as well as the kidney pie. The food is tasty, but I wish the portions were bigger.

Salumi () Map: 801 First Ave., Seattle 98104 This place makes good sandwiches. They are only open for lunch. I have tried their hot sopressata sandwich, and also a variety of their salami.

Chiang's Gourmet () Map: 1012 NE 65th St, Seattle 98115 Of all the chinese restaurants I have eaten at in Seattle, this one is my favorite. They have more than the regular americanized fair. One of my favorites is the Wuxi-style Spareribs. I also like the Mongolian Beef (I know, a very american dish) because they make it with a very dark, sweet, spicy sauce which I have never gotten anywhere else.

The Rocking Wok () Map: 1012 NE 65th St, Seattle 98115 An above average restaurant that serves up a good variety of chinese dishes.
