• Posted Scone City to Seattlest
  Some may call it the Rainy City, the Emerald City, or the Jet City, but around here, we call it like we see it: Seattle is the Coffee Capitol. To say that Seattlites love their lattes is a gross understatement. Without coffee, it’s unlikely that much would happen in this rainy, emerald city, and there would undoubtedly be fewer jets. But while much has been said of our noble brew, less has been noted of...
• Posted Seattle(st)’s Best Coffee Egg Nog to Seattlest
  Seattlest has a soft spot for the holidays, mainly because they make for a mean party. December in our northwesterly city is tailor-made for continuous holiday revelry: the days are short; the nights are long; and even the most stoic, stony citizen is all aglow.

The fun, however, was not in its consumption, but rather its destruction. Each year, with our mother’s blessing, we held...
• Posted Seattlest Gets Jealous, Makes Soup to Seattlest
  Seattlest isn’t prone to heartburn, but every time we leave Crow, Lower Queen Anne’s sexy, shadowy jewel box of a restaurant, we feel a little twinge. And no amount of Pepcid will help, because really, it’s just plain, ugly jealousy. We want what Lower Queen Anne has. Though this city isn’t short on restaurants or wildlife, we think it’s only fair that Seattle have a Crow in every neighborhood. It doesn’t hurt that we have...
• Posted Seattlest + Macrina = True love and ginger cake to Seattlest
  Seattlest has a wicked crush on Macrina Bakery and Cafe, and we know we aren’t the only ones. We’ve seen you there, standing in line next to us, eyeballing the cinnamon monkey bread and that savory galette with butternut squash, apples, sage, and Gorgonzola. We sat next to you that Sunday morning and watched your fried egg sandwich on potato bread ooze yellow yolk and homemade tomato sauce seductively onto your plate. She’s beautiful, that...
