Other Stuff
In my humble opinion, the nicest place to eat in all of Seattle (perhaps even the world, excluding The Waterside Inn in Bray in England) is The Brooklyn Seafood, Steak & Oyster House, on the intersection of Second and University in downtown. This place is just dazzling, and I have spent many a happy, self-indulgent evening there immersed in its glow and hubbub. One of my favorite things to do there is to sit at the chef's bar and watch the show on the other side of the bar. If they're makin' flames, so much the better. The chef's bar has great old-fashioned high-back swivel chairs stationed all along it for the sole purpose of allowing you to watch, and, if you're not careful, be a part of the drama taking place there. In fact, it's a lot like sitting in a theater, except it's much more intimate and generally a lot more fun!
