A nice hang-out park in the middle of Capitol Hill. You'll see a few bums milling about most likely, but it's a great place to people/dog-watch on a nice day

A beautiful park with massive trees. Also features an old water-tower that you can walk up and view most of the city from. A great and free alternative to the Space Needle.

Food Scene
Great pizza, by the slice if you'd like, and good prices. A bit of a walk from my house, but it's a scenic one that takes you through the heart of Capitol Hill

Not too too expensive by Seattle standards, and really just a fantastic place to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Plus it's about a block from my house

My girlfriend recommends this somewhat odd restaurant. It used to be a Burger King and they did little to remodel when they took over. Ideal for a dinner on a budget!

Shopping
I've actually never bought anything from here, but it's such a trip to go and look at this amazing storefront. Kind of a weird recommendation I suppose.

Everyday Music
1520 10th AveReally cool record shop that has great hours.
Currently my favorite thrift store in the area. The staff isn't the most courteous, but they have an interesting selection and better prices than Value Village and Goodwill.
