The recently renovated observation deck boasts views of the surrounding neighborhood as well as food and drinks at the new Temperance speakeasyinspired café and bar. The bottom floor now has Provisions, a general store with a deli counter, soda fountain and gift items. From there, stroll down First Ave., where you’ll find shopping and dining. Stop at E.

a great sports bar on this street (Quality Athletics) plus next-door Velouria (www. shopbelouria.com. 145 S. King St., 206.788.0330), a women’s clothing boutique that also stocks handmade gift items.

REI (www.rei.com. 222 Yale Ave. N, 206.223.1944) is headquartered in the area, and the massive flagship store is a fun spot to visit. Rather invest in an umbrella?

LOCAL FLAVOR

Healthy Eats in the Emerald City

Nutritious Dishes With an emphasis on local and seasonal food, Seattle restaurants amp up flavors and nutritional content with fresh produce, seafood, meats and cheeses. Find tasty and filling options at these favorite spots that are good for you and good for the planet. • As the name implies, Local 360

• Get a healthy dose of vegetables

(www.local360.org. 2234 First Ave., 206.441.9360) sources most of the restaurant’s ingredients within a 360-mile radius of Seattle. The things that won’t grow in the region are sourced from spots as close as possible. Open daily at 9 am until late, the menu features things like a housemade chorizo sausage scramble for brunch and a braised Oregon rabbit leg with vegetable ragout for dinner. Even the cocktail menu features local spirits—while not “healthy” necessarily, it doesn’t hurt to indulge.

at Café Flora (www.cafeflora.com. 2901 E. Madison St., 206.325.9100), Seattle’s beloved vegetarian restaurant. Meat-eaters won’t miss a thing at this spot, which also has vegan and gluten-free options. Dinner features things like Oaxaca tacos, the popular portobello wellington and pizzas, while breakfast and weekend brunch offer things like biscuits and gravy, a mushroom scramble and a must-eat cinnamon roll with maple-toasted pecans.

Mashiko (www.mashikorestaurant .com. 4725 California Ave. SW, 206.935.4339), located in West Seattle. This spot is a fully sustainable sushi bar.

There are so many options for date nights in Seattle. From decadent dinners and lavish shows to romantic walks through quiet parks, it’s easy to add a little romance to time with that special someone. But if you’re looking to do something unique, we’ve got you covered. Read on for a few favorite suggestions for offbeat dates. FLATSTICK PUB A combination of local beer and mini golf makes Flatstick Pub a fun spot for an evening out. The indoor, nine-hole course includes a high “risk-reward” shot at every hole, making it fun even if you’re golfing with different skill levels. The local beer and cider selection comes from around the region, including popular Seattle breweries Georgetown Brewing, Holy Mountain and Stoup. Flatstick Pub has two locations—the Pioneer Square spot is 21 and older only, while the Kirkland location is all-ages until 7 pm. Book a tee time online at either location. www.flatstickpub. com. Pioneer Square, 240 Second Ave. S, 206.682.0608; Kirkland, 15 Lake St., Ste. 100, Kirkland, 425.242.1618 Flatstick Pub

[WHERE INSIDE]

My Seattle

Aaron Barthel

[Owner and Chocolatier, Intrigue Chocolate Co.] For the last seven years, the Intrigue Chocolate Co. (www.intriguechocolate.com) has been providing visitors to the Pioneer Square spot some of the best chocolate truffles around. There are nearly 300 flavors, with 12 rotating flavors daily. Where spoke with Barthel about the hidden gems in his 'hood and more. Do you have a favorite flavor? Tequila and grapefruit is one of my favorites. Our

most popular is probably the bourbon and vanilla bean. We steep the vanilla beans in bourbon for

Any special events coming up at the shop? One thing I like to tell people about—it's not on our website, it's just a you've-got-to-know-it thing—is we've got a weekly after-hours session ... every Thursday we stay open an hour later. From 6 pm to 8 pm we do an off-menu tasting or mini demo of some kind. It's open house, it's free, just stop in and see what we're up to. We usually post on Twitter or Facebook, usually that morning. It's a good time to just come in and chat and see what we're up to. What are your favorite restaurants? One of my longtime favorites is Saffron Grill up in Northgate ... some of the best Indian food I've ever had. And here in this neighborhood, speaking of really awesome Indian food, but in a different direction—it's more cuisine Indian food—is Nirmal's. I like to drop by Altstadt,

[I am] fairly regular there. The käsespätzle mit speck—the German mac and cheese with bacon. It's amazing. I should mention, for lunch spots, Rain Shadow Meats. Their sandwiches are killer. Favorite spots to get a drink? The cocktail bar at E. Smith Mercantile is amazing ... it's an overused phrase, but it's really craft cocktails without a lot of pretension. Because it's so small, they're doing it because they love to. Any hidden gems you love in Pioneer Square? They're all hidden gems. Pioneer Pet [Feed &] Supply—I don't even have a pet, but I like going there because it's underground and he's got a couple cats that he got as kittens that just wander the shop. It's in the basement or what would have been the first floor before the uplifting of the streets. Klondike Goldrush Museum. Most people don't realize the country's smallest national park is right here in Pioneer Square. I haven't been yet, but I'm dying to go: The Flatstick Pub. With mini golf inside! Like I said, it's all hidden, it's all small and tucked away stuff here.

Beneath the Streets

48 W H E R E S E AT T L E I J A N UA R Y / F E B R UA R Y 2017

It's a hoot if you've never been: the Planet Java Diner. It's a classic diner and they've been in the neighborhood ... for 25 or more [years] and it's family run. Everything is covered with clocks

and Coke collectibles and Gumby figurines. It's wall-to-wall bright colors and weird, strange, fun objects. Sake Nomi. I think it's Seattle's best sake bar. It's off a side street and Johnnie owns the place—he gets stuff that you can't get anywhere else because he knows the brewers or distributors in Japan. Millhead's Barber Shop. It's like a modern take on an old-school barber shop. You can drink beer while you wait; it's really nice, talented people. What is a must-do when visitors are in town? I recommend doing the walking tours. Beneath the Streets and Seattle By Foot are two that we collaborate with on occasion, and they're run by people that are really passionate about knowing the things that they're telling ... I think it's a great way to do the city rather than just hitting tourist things, because you're spending time out and about and walking around and you're seeing how the city actually feels. What is the No. 1 spot on your travel wish list? My first spot on my travel wish list is Iceland. Everybody I know who's gone there has absolutely loved it. People seem really welcoming; the natural hot springs sound awesome.
