Some Favorite Eats… Max Effgen, April 18, 2009 Was able to take some time to visit Pike Place Market today. Very crowded for a Friday in April. The cruise boats will be here soon and with them, tourists. Inevitably, I am asked for recommendations, so here are a few good places to grab a bite. Palace Kitchen My personal favorite of celebrity chef Tom Douglas’ local restaurants. I have never had a bad experience at PK. Highly recommended. 2030 5th Ave, Seattle – (206) 448-2001 Wild Ginger A local original and favorite. Great location and atmosphere. 1401 3rd Ave, Seattle – (206) 623-4450 Green Leaf Great Vietnamese food and some of the best vegetarian options in the city. Can be found in the International District. 418 8th Ave S, Seattle – (206) 340-1388 Collins Pub Upscale pub bistro fare on the fringes of Pioneer Square. I have not had a bad meal or beer here. 526 2nd Ave, Seattle – (206) 623-1016 Enjoy! weekend/coffee eatsthoughtsweekend/coffee
