La Cote

Unfortunately, it's been a while since my wife and I visited this restaurant. We walked here during a rare warm early spring day for brunch, and were not disappointed. I can tell you that both the savory and sweet crepes that we had were excellent, and the waiter's wine recommendations for each crepe were spot-on. Good thing we had the walk back during which to sober up a bit!

HellaWalk...!

This past week, I walked from my house in Leschi to my Dentist at Belltown Dental.

I like my dentist, but they seem to want me to maximize my insurance benefits, as well as pay them out of my own pocket - I'm not a cheapskate, but hey, this is a recession...!

Cafe Flora

This past Sunday, Carrie and I walked to Cafe Flora, always a pleasure to go to. Here is the route we took:

The food there is simply awesome. For a dedicated Omnivore such as myself, the main failing that I usually find with Vegetarian / Vegan establishments is that their offerings are either bland or downright aweful. Sorry, I'm not going to give up taste just to make a statement.

Cafe Flora is one of the few places that could honestly inspire me to change my eating ways, however (the other being Hillside Quickies in the U-District, and Hillside Cafe in Capitol Hill). There, the food is fresh, flavorful, and always expertly prepared (the portions are generous too). Carrie and I have been there well over three dozen times in the past year, and we've never been disapointed.

Madison Park Cafe redeaux

The route that Carrie and I took to the Madison Park cafe... not that I would go there again...

Walk to Geraldines

This past Sunday, Carrie and I took this route to the always wonderful Geraldine's Counter in Columbia City. I can honestly say that we burned more calories on the walk there and back than we consumed at the resturant itself! It's always a kick-ass place to go for Sunday brunch, however! Thier deep-fried French Toast is always a fave with us.
