When I first started perusing the M's blogosphere in 2003, I found that article even though I had moved from Seattle to Chicago... It's been good for a gutbuster for me and everyone I've shown it to ever since. I don't care if your new version has the same motif, but keep the old one. And I don't drink, so I have nothing to add on that, sorry. yeah… whatever you do, do not get rid of the old one.

Sushi, Asian/fusion tapas, and other good food for pretty reasonable, including a big-ass $4 maragarita and quite palatable (and generously poured) $3 glasses of wine. Some not-too-expensive sake for those so inclined also. Probably not the top choice for beer but that's been covered extensively. The name probably needs to be re-thought.

I'm overwhemled. And a little snarky, obviously. Thanks, everyone, for the what… 2 recommendations. I’m overwhemled.

Last year when I was watching Felix vs Randy, one of them in their maroonish (sorry, I'm not good at colors) shirts came up and practically stuck his face into my Pepsi, sniffing for any signs of alcohol. Prick. Has anyone ever ran into the alcohol enforcement doods at Safeco?

It's got the second oldest liquor license in the State of Washington. Who has the oldest, I hear you ask? Weyerhaueser.

At 1st South and Lander is a great little place once called Lemieux's, but with new ownership, I think the name's changed. In the Market, I recommend the Pike Place Bar and Grill. They have $4.00 burger with fries, buffalo wing, chicken strips. The Can-Can also has a Happy Hour, and all the waitresses wear those "bubble-to-the-top" corsets. #27–Salute is no longer in operation.

Not a dazzling recommend, but it does me just fine. Only within walking distance, then, not on a bus line or anything??
