...is that they’re closing due to the imminent building of a condo!! It seems they’re in talks with the constructors to have the same spot.
In the meantime, we’ll just have to get as much espresso, croissants, and German cake as we can…mmmm…
With the excitement of a shopping spree, remember there’s a parking meter on the street… that is, if you don’t want to get a parking ticket :(
Yeah, been there just yesterday, and got a $35 ticket for being in absolute oblivion!! Hmmm, that surpassed the savings :S
I dressed up for the occasion :)
It’s a stretch of a resemblance of me, and, besides, my dog got cut off :S Oh well!!
For three weeks, the splendid landscapes, roads, cities, and people of France were brought to us through the amazing Tour.
Last Sunday, a naïve newcomer finished first place —winning both the white and the yellow jerseys—, after a handful of veterans were, one by one, expelled due to lack of sportsmanship and fair racing. Though Contador won with his own merit, it felt a bit like it happened by default, and it shouldn’t have felt like so.
The extent which riders are willing to go just to win is scary. Yet scarier is the wide acceptance of this —not just in bicycling, but in many other sports as well. Frankly, winning is too overrated, leaving good and exciting competition as a thing of the past. Winning no matter what, I think, is dishonest and unethical —and bad karma. Nevertheless, it looked as though the organizers are being stricter in an attempt to save the event because, with these kind of incidents and the readiness of participants to go around the rules, Le Tour is doomed.
But, we’ll always have Paris…
I came here a few days ago to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It’s not the best bowling place I’ve ever been to, but we had great fun!
In spite of their recent expansion, make a reservation if you don’t want to eat at the bar with narrow stools :S Worth the food nonetheless.
Excellent restaurant to bring visitors to Seattle.
...was a while ago on my 33rd birthday when A treated me to this wonderful restaurant. Few times in my life have I had such a joyous experience savoring food.
What I most remember is their red peppers stuffed with bacalao. The flavor, the texture, and the consistency just melted in my mouth. Truly succulent food and a wonderful dining experience.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle —when there’s a little extra money, but it’s very worth it!
Vios’ excellent Greek cuisine with its casual atmosphere makes it an extraordinary place to lunch and dine. In fact, the majority of their customers are regulars. New customers come in all the time, and then they become regulars ;)
Their menu is concise with succulent specials. My absolute preferred dish is the Orzo Salad, hands down… I cannot have enough of it…
Yet, I often order tzatziki, hommus, souvlaki, the rustic baguettes (particularly the Albacore tuna!! —oh, so good), the meze plate (includes a skewer and two sides), Greek salad, pastitsio, loukanika, pork tenderloin… ooo, I think I can go all over their menu!!
And then, for dessert, there’s baklava
...and Galaktoboureko and gelato and espresso and latte
Just look at the foam!!
Being Vios one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle —if not MY favorite one—, it’s no wonder I’m a regular here. I highly recommend it :)
