You won't have to spend a fortune in Seattle's elegant French restaurants to eat well: among the coffee shops of Capitol Hill, ethnic restaurants of the University district and, above all, Pike Place Market, there are many excellent choices.
Seafood
is the specialty, ranging from salmon and crab to trout and mussels to classic clam chowder.
Much social interaction in the city is fueled by
coffee
, and we list some of the best places to get the buzz. Along with being good spots to sip java, Seattle's coffee houses host much of its social scene, and are inexpensive choices for whiling away the time. Corporate giant
Starbucks
started here in the early 1970s (in a still-extant location in the Pike Place Market), though you're better off sampling a local brew that you can't find in your hometown minimall. Other big names include
Seattle's Best Coffee, Tully's
and
Torrefazione Italia
, but if you want a true taste of the city, check out one of the 200-plus
espresso carts
scattered about town, each colorfully styled and uniquely designed. Other useful information
