WHAT'S FOR DINNER: If you haven't heard already, Dine Around Seattle is once again happening--but only until November 30th. The deal is that you can go to any restaurant listed Sunday-Thursday for a three-course dinner for only $30. It makes our mouth water just thinking about it.... Earth & Ocean on a Tuesday night for a three-course meal at thirty bucks?! Ahhhhh, happiness. Besides Earth & Ocean, the list includes many greats--such as Spring Hill, Nell's, Campagne, and Chez Shea, along with a handful of Tom Douglas' restaurants.
