Chicago Yacht Club



I had a very enjoyable lunch at the Chicago Yacht Club in December of 1996 with an old Texas'Ex and a group of Architect post grads. and interns.

They obviously conducted this revolution without me because my Mama served fishsticks and tuna casserole. I have no recollection of this Mama's.

Wild Ginger




Just another Thai Restaurant, tastes about the same more expensive than most. If you're in Seattle, do yourself one bette and head up to Cafe Chinois on Queen Anne Hill.

Marcus's



Marcus' is by far the best Martini bar in Seattle, or anywhere, for that matter. The Martini's are outstanding. The supermodel bartender who worked there ca. 2004 put it over the top.
