#28 Tamarind Tree. Cringe. Yes, the atmosphere is amazing and surprisingly nice for such a reasonably priced hideaway in Little Saigon. The dirty little secret is that the food is mediocre despite genuine attempts at creativity. Me, I'd trade crummy atmosphere for better food almost every time. -Tri

Eh, I'm not sure I'd take someone to the Greenwood Space Travel Supply. It seems like an interesting idea, but the store really isn't that great. Personally, I'd knock that off the list. Also, the Museum of Glass is really not worth the money. It feels half complete. I'd have to second Kubota Garden and Cupcake Royale in Ballard. Brasillas in Ballard is a great fashion shop for the women in the party, much better than Les Amis in Fremont. -matt

Eat the biggest frickin egg omlette at "Beths" on Aurora. Get the car washed at the Elephant--even if it is a rental car.
