Want a unique experience? Enjoy a delicious and traditional dinner at the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle. Even if you call ahead, you probably won't be able to get a special tatami room; however, you may get lucky and earn yourself a table! If so, you will be enjoying authentic sushi and other dishes from a historic Seattle restaurant in no time.

Not everyone likes karaoke, when it means listening to a bunch of strangers singing to anonymous crowd. But what if it's just you and your friends singing for each other? That's what Rock Box is- a bunch of private rooms for you to sing your heart out with or for your friends. Surprise! One of the rooms has speakers to the outside. Rock Box is located in the heart of Capitol Hill and has a huge playlist. Call ahead, as it fills up fast. If you think of it, reserve a room well in advance of your trip! Great birthday spot.

The Triple Door is such a great Seattle venue. You'll want to see who is performing during your visit, and book tickets early. The curved booths all have great views of the stage, and there is attentive table service all night. So many great bands perform there, and the ambience is perfect for a date night or a celebratory evening out with friends.

Grocery Outlet is a favorite among budget travelers. It may not have everything you need, but you can get your basics there, it is a short walk from the house, and you won't believe their prices. There's often a taco truck set up in the parking lot that is popular with the locals.
