Hey guys, I'm Alia.

I have lived in Seattle for over six years now

and today I wanted to share with you guys all of my favorite places to go,

hang out, eat and everything in between.

We're gonna cover restaurants, bars,

cafes, bakeries, shops, areas, and general activities.

So let's go.

Okay, we're gonna start out with food

because I know that's why a lot of you are here is to figure out where do you go eat in Seattle?

What's the spot to go eat at?

Where does everybody go for dinner?

Well, I have the answers,

but first I do want to give a disclaimer

that these are just places that I like to go to

and places that I've been going to for the last couple years.

First one on the list comes as no surprise to you guys if you've watched my videos for a long time,

you know that my favorite,

favorite, favorite place to get food in Seattle has to be the Seattle Fish Guys.

I have been going to them for years now,

and ever since I had them for the first time,

I just, like, fell in love.

They are located in the heart of the Central District.

They are a restaurant and seafood market.

They serve the most incredible poke I've ever had in my life.

Guys, I gotta tell you,

this is my favorite spot in Seattle.

Do you know how many times we've been here?

I haven't been counting, no. yeah i mean i haven't been counting either

but i definitely think it's like over 20 times like 30

times we come here at least twice a month i would say once a week is like the usual

but i always always get if they have it the sweet shoyu salmon

and the spicy salmon you can build your own bowl i always get the spicy tuna

if you get the salmon it's also really good

but i just double up on Yoni loves the spicy tuna because it's the mayo dressing like the mayo sauce.

I mean look at this beauty.

Oh my god are you kidding me?

Now next for food we have Rachel's Ginger Beer

which is located in Capitol Hill but also with the location in Pike Place and U Village.

But the reason why RGB is in the food section is

because their Capitol Hill and U Village locations both have a collaboration with Maono fried chicken

so anytime i go i always get either the fried chicken sandwich

or the chicken fingers they are incredible they have different spice

levels they can pick from i would always stay with the mild

because it's plenty

but try it at your own risk the combination of the fried chicken with the fries

and the rachel's ginger beer with whatever flavors you get is

so on point that it has to be at the top of the list now the next restaurant

that i would highly recommend to everybody to go try is paju located in lower queen anne they serve modern

and unique takes on korean dishes

if you come here you have to try the squid ink fried rice

or the steak bulgogi made with truffles it's absolutely incredible those

two are always on their menu most of their menu changes seasonally

but these two have been on rotation on the menu every

single time i come over there they just serve really innovative dishes with incredible incredible flavor combinations

and this place is also great to come with a large group

if you want to taste test everything

because the portions are meant to be shared family style now

one of my all-time favorite places to eat in seattle has

to be pasta casalinga in pike place market it's a little bit hard to find

and you have to really look for the signs of where to go

because it's deep in the market so it's one of those places

that if you know you know

but pasta casalinga is a pasta bar not a lot of seating

so So you definitely have to sometimes wait a little bit,

but it's so so so worth it This place has been my family

and I's go-to ever since we moved to Seattle since we've discovered it.

It's incredible So we're at pasta casalinga right now They have three

that change always have one from the ocean from the farm

and from the garden And then they always have like the lasagna

and the classic like pomodoro pasta But this is my go-to spot in Parkway Parkways in Pike Boys Market

Another one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Seattle for the past couple years has been Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen.

They have several locations around Seattle area,

but I always go to the Queen Anne location or the Gravana location.

The ambiance is always so nice

and perfect for dinner with a larger group as their dishes are really the perfect size to share among people.

And they have so many different dishes that I love,

but some of my favorites have to be the chinese sausage fried rice

and the patou as well as their thai steak salad

which i could literally eat every single day it's

that good okay now listen i love my pastries like

if pastries were a food group

which to me they are i just i take them very seriously

and that's why i have one place to recommend you for

pastries in seattle where to get the best pastries with the most like interesting flavors

but also the highest quality would have to be at temple

pastries in central district they have come through every time like

every time they change their menu every time they have new items it's just

so good it's flaky it's buttery it's like the perfect pastry i swear to you they have new changing flavors

but some ogs that are always there also the interior is really lovely

if you want to hang out in there they also have a little bit of outdoor seating

and if you're trying to get some work done they have some upstairs seating

that has plenty of seeds and a lot of plugs now a second pastry shop

that is close second for me has to be bake shop

in lower queen anne they also make some incredible pastries

but they also have sandwiches and more like lunch items

but everything

that i've tried there has been really good super flavorful um

also their coffee is really good i'm a big bagel gal

100

and

101

if you are a bagel person these are my recommendations for

102

you first we have westman's bagels they're my absolute favorite

103

because they were in my neighborhood but they're also some of the best

104

that i've had in the city their sandwiches especially their bec

105

which is bacon egg and cheese sandwich is so

106

so good their version of it is exactly the perfect bacon egg

107

and cheese sandwich in my opinion i always get it on an everything bagel

108

but they have all varieties of bagels and they have seasonal schmears

109

and they have an extensive menu of different sandwiches if you're not a BC person.

110

Second, we have Mount Bagel which is also located in Capitol Hill.

111

They're a newer addition to the city but definitely worth checking out.

112

We've got our bagels.

113

Both scallion but this is a spicy scallion.

114

This is good.

115

I love how soft the inside is too.

116

The next spot might be one of my most frequented places that I've been to in Seattle,

117

especially in the last few years.

118

And it has to be Little Oddfellows located in Capitol Hill inside of the Elliott Bay Bookstore.

119

By the way, Elliott Bay Bookstore should be a place that you check out on its own outside of the Little Oddfellows.

120

But Little Oddfellows has been a hub for me to work out of my apartment.

121

For some reason I can really focus in there.

122

It's super chill and nice and nice.

123

It gets really busy by noon so you definitely have to hurry up and snatch a seat because it's really popular.

124

They have really great pastries.

125

They also have a few lunch items like sandwiches or soup and more importantly their coffee is really really good.

126

There's plenty of seating and plugs to charge your computer.

127

Okay now for drinks I do have a few recommendations to start off with.

128

If you are a matcha person,

129

if you like matcha, which I love matcha,

130

I'm also very particular about my matcha then i would say

131

that my favorite matcha spot it would have to be nana's

132

green tea downtown seattle they by far make the best matcha i've found in the city

133

but they also make matcha everything they're one of those places

134

they have matcha parfaits matcha ice cream matcha pastries they also

135

have savory food like rice bowls with meat you can easily

136

just have a whole meal there including a matcha dessert seattle has several bubble tea places

137

that are really really good but I have two favorite ones in the city.

138

Number one has to be Meraki tea in the U district.

139

So we just went to Meraki tea

140

and this is one of my favorite like bubble spots especially

141

when I was in college living around U-Dub I would always get bubble tea from Meraki

142

and my go-to is the mango passion fruit green tea

143

and you can also tell they have like little bits of I think it's mango

144

and passion fruit inside it so you know like that's why the flavor is

145

so good and second we have happy lemon i know they're international

146

but we do have a few locations here in seattle

147

and they are some of my favorites for specifically milk teas with boba

148

and of course you always have to get one of their bubble waffles

149

because they're just to die for incredible

150

and the pairing with the milk tea is just chef's kiss now i don't really drink much

151

but i did want to include one drinks slash bar place if you are interested.

152

I do love wine and one of my favorite,

153

all-time favorite wine bars in Seattle has to be Otherworld Wine Bar.

154

They specialize in natural wines and they always have so many wines that you can either buy to take home.

155

They also have rotating wines,

156

either some whites or reds or oranges or rosés.

157

It's just such a lovely space to be in

158

because you don't feel like have to know about wines to go there the vibes are immaculate

159

and the music and the space and the people

160

that go there i highly recommend you guys check out otherworld

161

wine bar okay now for desserts i am not a big ice cream person i'm gonna say this

162

but at the same time at the top of my list for desserts has to be salt

163

and straw their ice cream is incredible they have new flavors every month

164

which is amazing and keeps people going back i would have to say

165

that my favorite favorite favorite favorite flavor

166

that I always get no matter what the new thing is

167

has to be honey lavender ice cream in a waffle cone or waffle bowl.

168

Now the second dessert place that I highly recommend you guys check out is called Byten

169

and it's located also in Capitol Hill.

170

They specialize in Japanese desserts but more specifically the fruit sandwiches and incredible soft serve.

171

We got a little yuzu soft serve and black sesame soft serve.

172

Oh my god, the black sesame is crazy.

173

Now for activities.

174

Seattleites are known to love the outdoors

175

which is actually why a lot of people live in Seattle

176

and the Pacific Northwest is because there's so much greenery

177

and water and just nature in general so people are always looking for ways to spend more time outside.

178

Now we're over here at Lake Union and I'm here

179

because probably one of the most popular activities for Seattleites has to be paddle boarding.

180

I would say I personally prefer Lake Union just because it's a little bit more adventurous.

181

It's bigger and you get to see the city 360 degrees because Lake Union is in the middle of Seattle.

182

So you get to see downtown,

183

you get to see Gasworks Park and it's also really close to a lot of different food places.

184

So you can make a whole day out of it.

185

I have to say that one of my favorite parks in Seattle is where I'm actually located right now,

186

which is Myrtle Edwards Park.

187

And it's super sunny today,

188

but even when it's gloomy, it's so beautiful.

189

It's my favorite go-to spot for a walk or a run.

190

This trail is the Elliott Bay Trail,

191

and it's a super long one.

192

So if you want to go on a run or anything,

193

anytime you want to get away from the city and get to be by the water,

194

the breeze, the smell of the ocean is just beautiful.

195

And I love how it stretches all the way from Inner Bay down to the Olympic Sculpture Park.

196

And speaking of, my second place

197

that I highly recommend you guys check out in Seattle or just go to hang out is Olympic Sculpture Park.

198

It's very, very unique to Seattle.

199

It was put together by the Seattle Arts Museum.

200

And there's just a lot of like different sculptures that are in the park.

201

The park itself isn't really big,

202

but there's a lot of just like open space where you can hang out,

203

you can sit down, you can have a picnic.

204

And I love how all these parks are just connected to each other.

205

So you can easily just see all of them in one day.

206

And if you continue in the same direction,

207

you will reach the waterfront,

208

which is probably my favorite part of the activities because it's so beautiful.

209

You really get to feel like you are in Seattle and that Pacific Northwest vibe.

210

There's actually a lot of different little like restaurants and coffee shops,

211

places to eat, stores that you can find along the way

212

and in the summertime it's always super busy but still really fun especially

213

if this is your first time in seattle i definitely recommend

214

walking all the way from centenio park into the waterfront

215

because then you can walk all the way to pike place

216

and it's a beautiful like 20 minute walk not too long you get to see a lot of the city

217

and a lot of what the seattle vibe has to offer

218

and of course pike place market i know it's super touristy

219

but even

220

if this is not your first time in Seattle I really love coming here from time to time

221

because there's always so much going on there's

222

so many things you can do you can spend a whole day walking through the market

223

because there's so many little places that sometimes are a little secret

224

and you might need to find your way to them like pasta castlingo

225

which I mentioned before but there's so many little like food spots

226

that are kind of hole in the walls they also have

227

so many little stores inside the place that aren't just market like

228

but you can buy like posters or books or antiques

229

so the market is super fun especially because it's connected to the waterfront.

230

So there's a lot of really nice views

231

that you can get from the market

232

and in general it's just a great weekend activity

233

but also early morning during the week

234

if you get a chance it's really nice

235

because it's a lot more quiet so you get to enjoy the market all to yourself.

236

And lastly for activities we have the Fremont Sunday Market.

237

It's probably where you're gonna find me every Sunday because it's that good.

238

Okay so we're over here at the Fremont Sunday Market.

239

It's always super busy but especially in the summertime it's really busy

240

and in the wintertime usually the market is moved under the Fremont Bridge so if it's like rain season,

241

winter season, you can always go to the market so let's go.

242

When my sister and I come here every time,

243

we always get some type of food.

244

They always have food trucks lined up.

245

People always come, get some food,

246

then go walk through all the little stands.

247

And the food trucks are always like local Seattle businesses.

248

And now onto vintage and thrift stores.

249

My favorite category.

250

I left it for last.

251

If you already have the Fremont Sunday Market,

252

you might as well make your way to the Fremont to the Fremont Vintage Mall,

253

which is just a block away.

254

And you can spend hours in this place.

255

It has everything you can imagine a place to have from homeware to clothing to accessories.

256

I always love popping in there to like look at records or books or even clothes.

257

You can really find some special finds in there.

258

Next, I would say at the top of my list

259

when it comes to vintage stores and thrift stores in general in Seattle has to be Slow Dance in Capitol Hill.

260

They are some of my favorites because they are more of a curated vintage shop.

261

The price point will be a little bit higher,

262

but I think it's worth it because I know every time I walk in there,

263

there will be several pieces that I would like.

264

And they always have various sizes and the quality is really, really good.

265

I like that it's not just like the typical vintage tees or denim and those types of more like thrifted finds.

266

You can really see that they take time to curate their pieces

267

and they have a lot more selection when it comes to like more fancy items.

268

Next, we have Red Light Vintage,

269

which is located in the U District where all the college kids go to get their vintage and thrift finds.

270

So, you know, it's good.

271

They really have a lot in there,

272

a lot of vintage tees,

273

a lot of denim, and they actually have a whole area just for costumes.

274

So, people often go there for like parties, themed parties, or Halloween.

275

There's really a lot to dig through in there.

276

Next, we have Late Night Vintage Market.

277

This place is huge and if you are someone who likes to put on their headphones

278

and browse in a vintage shop for hours This is a place for you.

279

This place is really big.

280

They host a bunch of different vendors,

281

which I love There's literally something for everybody There's

282

so many different styles of clothing in the market from like sporty to super vintage

283

and rare There's really something for everybody

284

and it's a great place to go with friends and hang out

285

and walk around and browse through Another shop is Erez Consignment.

286

I actually really love this store.

287

If you want to find something a little bit more fancy and less thrift-like,

288

this is actually a consignment store.

289

So you will find a lot of really great brands that are not necessarily vintage or old,

290

but they're just, you know,

291

put up to be reused.

292

And I've really found some great pieces in there.

293

And there you have it.

294

Those are all of my favorite places in Seattle to eat,

295

drink, hang out, shop, and everything in between.

296

Let me know if you're gonna check out

297

or have checked out any of the places I mentioned

298

and also let me know if There are any spots that you're like,

299

how could she not mention this place?

300

Please let me know and again This is just my opinion.

301

These are just the places that I like

302

and I've liked for the last couple years

303

But there's plenty of other ones that I didn't mention just

304

because this video again can't be 20 hours long

305

But I hope you guys enjoyed it I would really appreciate it

306

if you guys liked this video and share it with your friends and also subscribe if you're not subscribed.

307

A lot of exciting videos coming to you very soon.

308

I'm filming from a very special location right now.

309
