Matthew

All of the above, plus Danbo for ramen, Ox Burger for the Lao Burger, and Ananas for great suburban-style pizza.

Shop for cookbooks at Book Larder and have lunch next door at Fremont Bowl. Fremont also has the best musical instrument stores in town: Dusty Strings, Mike & Mike's, and American Music. My favorite music venues in town are Neumo's, The Crocodile, and Tractor Tavern.

Or take a ferry to Bainbridge Island, go to Eagle Harbor Books, and get lunch at Town and Country Market.

Producer Abby

All of the above and Bruciato, Bar del Corso, bside foods, and Seattle Fish Company.
