Authentic Italian- real Italian food from a real Italian. I love Pietro Borghese the owner, and his wife the chef (has competed on Iron Chef!). The best Lasagne you have ever put in your mouth, I guarantee it. Beautiful space, the gnocchi will make you want to slap your mama.

Because the view. Right on Lake Union, the outdoor deck is the coveted spot. Houseboats, pleasure craft, seaplanes landings... Also great margaritas, guac, and in fact everything I've eaten there was delicious. And did I mention the view?

First white settlers landed here. Once a place of little beach cabins, now lined with condos. The beach is wide and sandy, with a paved lane for rollerblading and bikes. Can have bonfires at night. Lots of restaurants and bars line the street. Great for sunny days, sunsets, people watching.

Inventive, inspiring, unique. Kirk travels all over and finds and transforms crazy stuff. My favorite shop. Expensive. Susan Wheeler's shop next door is great, too. Other vintage shops within a block.
