Favorite and oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle. Make sure you make reservations, otherwise Grandma will turn you away at the door (even though the restaurant has seats). Another option is to sit at the bar since it's first-come, first-serve. Definitely order the black cod!

Best Caribbean food! If you get a sandwich, make sure you get lots of napkins because it get's messy. The line is usually out the door, so we like to call ahead for pick-up. There are a few tables in there but it gets crowded.

Our favorite brewery. It's a bit of a drive to Interbay, but worth it. You'll drive up behind the building and park along the railroad tracks. We recommend going to Windy City (go through the front door and turn right) to order a pizza and bring it into Holy Mountain to eat.

If you like indie pop dance parties and it's a Saturday night, this is the place for you. It's also the closest dance spot to the apartment. If memory serves us right, it's a $5 cover. It's a lot of fun, but there's terrible HVAC so it gets HOT. We recommend the few extra dollars for coat check, otherwise, bring a jacket you don't care about because most people 'hide' them by the windows and gets mistaken by the end of the night.
