oh the places you'll go.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."

Seattle. Eat. Stay. Play.

Stay @ Hotel Andra




Eat & Sip

Walking distance from the hotel, is 3 Tom Douglas restaurants...Lola (in the hotel), Dahlia Lounge & Bakery and Serious Pie. I tried all 3 and all were amazing! Cafe Nola on Bainbridge Island (pick up some cheese and crackers at Beecher's for the ride), was definitely worth the ferry ride over, ( i highly recommend the portobello ravioli with the black truffle cream sauce. MMMmmm). A good place to sit and sip, would definitely be Victrola Coffee, try the world famous Streamline Espresso.



Play.
Walk through Pikes Place Market, check out the fresh produce and flowers, even try to catch a fish if your lucky. Take a walk to the Space Needle, and pick a museum or a concert to check out during your stay. With so much to do, see and eat...Seattle will definitely be seeing me again!
