Via Tribunali is a great spot for fresh, wood-fired pizzas (Neapolitan style). The setting is dimly lit and somewhat rustic...perfect for a romantic dinner. The Georgetown location is unique in that they deconstructed a 100-year-old pizzeria from Naples, shipped it to Seattle, and rebuilt it in Georgetown.

Jules Mae's is the oldest bar in Seattle, opening for business back in 1888. This is a great spot to grab a bite to eat or get drinks. The interior is reminiscent of the saloon days and they have live music, ping pong, pinball, and air hockey in the back.

Smarty Pants is another favorite of mine for breakfast or lunch. They have a great menu (specializing in sandwiches) and also offer outdoor, patio seating when the weather is nice. The interior is decked out with a motorcycle theme, featuring vintage bikes above the entry.

Deep Sea Sugar & Salt is an amazing cake shop located just around the corner on 6601 Carleton Ave S. It's basically behind our unit, on the other side of the block. Stop in to buy a slice of cake, or a cupcake, from their rotating selection. They also have an assortment of baked goods, specialty sodas, and even some staple items for sale. And the space is setup really well, with some areas for people to sit and hang out. They are open Tues-Sat 11am-7pm and Sun 11am-5pm.

9lb Hammer is the "living room" of Georgetown. It's where many of the locals go to drink, eat, and converse with neighbors, friends, and strangers alike. On the weekends more people from outside Georgetown seem to converge on it. The bar is dark and gritty, the drinks are strong, and the bartenders are great. They also have a free pool table, shuffleboard, board games, and a few arcade games.

Parks & Nature
Seward Park is a great spot to get outside for some fresh air and/or exercise. It has a great walking/running/biking trail that loops around the perimeter of the park, along the edge of Lake Washington. And there are a number of trails that zig-zag through the middle of the park, putting you within the old growth forest that still remains. The park is 300 acres, with about 120 acres of old growth forest still intact. This is where I venture to when I want to get away from the "city".

Discovery Park is probably my favorite park in all of Seattle. It's not very easy to get to, but it's worth it once you're there. It is the city's largest park, containing nearly 12 miles of walking trails and a lighthouse on westernmost point. Make your way down to the water where you can stroll along the shoreline and view wildlife.
