Independent Pizzeria Good for Picky Eaters
Pizza purists are flocking to Madison Park for fine pies and great wines.
Madison Park, long marooned at the farthest reaches of E Madison Street with just ice cream, burgers and pub food to stave off its residents’ hunger pangs, is in the midst of a culinary rebirth. Not only has the Madison Park Conservatory been making waves in the old Sostanza space (more on that in a…
Parental Guidance: Beyond Story Time, Pet Project and Mother of Invention
Dog-meet-baby orientation classes, a functional and super cute car seat cover, and new media storyte
Pet ProjectAs if there’s not enough stress with bringing the new babe home from the hospital, you also have to worry about Fido and all the canine complications that can arise (like jealousy and aggression toward the new bundle). So before the homecoming, plan for a crash course with Wallingford’s Susan Oshie, a former veterinarian…
Scenic Drive’s Handmade Bicycling Accessories and Clothing
A bicycle-friendly sewing sanctuary helps crafty dreams come true.
Harmoniously fusing Seattle’s love for cycling and its penchant for DIY undertakings, Scenic Drive E. Pike Factory (611 E Pike St.; 206.300.8799; scenicdrivefactory.com) is best described as a cycling paraphernalia workspace. Open since October and run by Nikki Mazzei and Rachel Ravitch (of Seattle’s cycling dance troupe the Bicycle Belles), Scenic Drive sells handmade bicycling…
Local Coffee Shops Showcase Caffeine in Artful Receptacles
Cool coffee jars from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Blackbird Coffee and Caffè Fiore.
Stumptown Coffee RoastersStumptown now offers its popular Hair Bender blend in a container as iconic as its name. The retro-pharmaceutical look of the glass jar suggests the medicinal effects of staying caffeinated, while the amber color helps block bean-damaging UV rays. Once you’ve sipped your way to the bottom, bring back the jar for a…
Styled: Century Ballroom’s Hallie Kuperman Brings a Feminine Edge to Vintage Men’s Suits
When dance teacher Kuperman first fell in love with social dancing more than two decades ago, she qu
WHY WE LOVE HER LOOK: When dance teacher Kuperman first fell in love with social dancing more than two decades ago, she quickly grew even more enamored of the period vintage clothing worn on the dance floor. But instead of the full skirts and kitten heels, Kuperman was attracted to the classic, tailored menswear, and…
Shopping: Adrienne Antonson at NuBe, Spun Collective and More
From farm-to-fashion, Cap Hill's sustainable clothing collective and a cheery wallk hook.
Farm to FashionSo much of fashion’s viewpoint comes from the upcoming season or the next big fashion week, but for artist Adrienne Antonson, the view of her back pasture on Vashon Island is much more inspiring. There roams a herd of 36 alpaca, whose shaggy fleece is at the heart of her exclusive new line…
Boat Street Cafe’s Best Brunch
There are breakfasts, and then there’s Boat Street Cafe & Kitchen's Rustic Cornmeal Custard Cake.
There’s really no better place to meet friends for brunch than at the Boat Street Cafe & Kitchen, which is tucked away on the far reaches of Belltown near the foot of Queen Anne Avenue North. Cool light spreads through the loft-like space; it’s the kind of place where crisp white linens, freshly cut tulips…
Fashion + Style Friday: An Epic Super Bowl Sale, Plus Bright Springtime Nail Polish
Mario’s annual game day sale, Butter London’s new nail polish colors and a hot bracelet made from re
I walk to work most mornings, and today I was peeling layers block by block. Off came the mittens, then the scarf and finally the outer jacket. Dare I say it? It felt like spring and it’s just in time for the happy, springtime hues popping up in stores. Here are a few bright ideas…
Zippy’s Giant Burgers is Relocating to White Center
Great news, burger fanatics. The owners of Zippy’s have been in tough talks with landlords who are out to triple the burger joint’s rent. In a recession, that’s the kind of hardball that just won’t fly. Instead of paying triple, according to White Center Now, Zippy’s is moving to a new home on the north…
Ocean Acidification: Global Warming’s Doppelgänger
Studies show Puget Sound is particularly susceptible to damaging changes in ocean pH.
At the warm, brine-scented Northwest Fisheries Science Laboratory (NFSL) in Montlake, soft-spoken biologist Paul McElhany and a team of scientists immerse geoduck larvae in a multitude of saltwater baths. The water, trucked in from Elliott Bay and another fisheries lab in Mukilteo, starts as the usual toe-numbing Puget Sound soup. Then the scientists—amid the beeping,…
Restaurant Review: Cantinetta Bellevue
The Wallingford date spot spawns a second sexy incarnation on Bellevue’s Main Street.
Sometimes, going out to eat is all about the food. But usually, there’s more to it. At the original Cantinetta in Wallingford, there is plenty to like beyond the remarkable homemade pastas. The candlelit space has a whispered, undeniable sexiness. And, in spite of its location (on the street level of a modern condominium building),…
Restaurant Review: Lecosho
Matt Janke (late of Matt's in the Market) returns with a pork-lover's paradise on the Harbor Steps.
It’s probably not fair, but everyone is going to compare Lecosho to Matt’s in the Market. Matt Janke opened Matt’s in 1996, when there was room for about a dozen patrons in the ramshackle space, but—oh!—it was magic. Simple, honest, fresh and seasonal (but not preachy about it), the food was just good, good, so…

This spring, Delancey’s Brandon Pettit, along with friends-who-cook, Olaiya Land (caterer and cooking class teacher) and Brandi Henderson (Delancey’s pastry chef), is opening The Pantry in a space behind Delancey! The Pantry will be a multi-use space, where cooking classes…
