Frolick at Frolik

Last Friday, a new eatery opened up in downtown Seattle. An eatery with a modern vibe, a killer outdoor patio, and more space devoted to “adult arcade” activities than I’ve ever seen before (and there’s no pool table in sight). The place? Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails (they have a Frolik Seattle Facebook page; their Twitter [...]

Trails: A New Musical Speaks to PNWers

Life is not typically a walk in the park. In fact, it’s often more like six long, hard months on the Appalachian Trail (AT). But the trip is worth it in the end. And those challenges – tragedies, even – are what make us all the more unique, the wiser, the more interesting. So said [...]

Get Your Swink On

Some days, we all need to get our drink on. For some of us, every once in a while, we even need to get our pink on. (Interpret that however you will, dear hedonists.) Other days, perhaps we need to get our Swink on. Swink Style Bar, that is. Dubbed one of the “Top 100 [...]

Get Your Frugal Foodie On: Dine Around Is A-Comin’ To Town Once Again

Dining out is generally always hedonistic, isn’t it? With March just around the corner, that means one thing to the foodies of the greater Seattle area: Dine Around. That’s right – it’s time for Dine Around Seattle once again, which is in its eleventh year. What’s more, they just launched a new logo for 2013 [...]

Alki Success: Marination ma kai

Hey, we don’t all get waterfront the first time around for West Seattle. “On Saturdays the truck has always been there [in West Seattle], on 35th and Graham,” says Kamala Saxton, co-owner of Marination empire along with Roz Edison. “We now arguably have the best view in the city.” A view that came with a lot [...]

20th Anniversary for Elliott’s Oyster New Year

A perfect pairing takes place when hedonism meets philanthropy. Or when a tasty Sauvignon Blanc meets a great oyster for charity. Doing good while feeling good doing it – what could be better? Efficient pleasure at its best. This past Saturday from 4:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., Elliott’s Oyster House (EOH) celebrated its 20th Oyster [...]

25th Anniversary for Auction of Washington Wines

It’s amazing how time flies. Last month, the Auction of Washington Wines celebrated its 25th Anniversary with its first of a three-day fundraising bonanza, starting with the Picnic and Barrel Auction (August 16th, 2012). It seems like only yesterday this outdoor event celebrated its 24th Anniversary (on August 18th, 2011) or even its 23rd Anniversary [...]

Tall Ships in Town August 27th-September 4th

The tall ships have come to town. Well, Kirkland, technically. Carillon Point, specifically. They are here for a limited time, only. Docked at Carillon Point from August 27th until September 4th, 2012, two tall ships are available for perusal (or at least spying from Carillon Point): the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftan. All this [...]

BC-WA Link: August 9th Book Reading in Seattle

I have said it before, and I will say it again, dear hedonists – the Province of British Columbia in Canada and the State of Washington in the United States of America have more in common with each other than they do with their respective sibling provinces and states. Why? It’s a number of factors. [...]

Island Chefs’ Collaborative 2012 Food Fest

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: those of us in the Pacific Northwest have more in common with each other than we do with the rest of our respective nations. Take Vancouver Island, for example. This June 10th, 2012 will be the 5th annual fundraiser known as the Island Chefs Food Fest. [...]
