best karaoke bar on earth…
misc seattle area recs:
twede’s cafe in north bend is where they filmed twin peaks. good burgers!
walrus and carpenter is one of my favorite restaurants ever especially if you like seafood / oysters
kamonegi is incredible, they specialize in soba.
pacific inn has anthony bourdains favorite fish and chips and they really are that good
muddy cup is what we have lost with coffee shops. cozy, earth toned, big sofas and chairs, very global village 90s vibe
in terms of other towns in washington, port townsend, whidbey island, orcas island (ferry needed) and bainbridge island (ferry also need but easy from downtown seattle) are all fun.
in oregon i love astoria and short sand beach (near cannon beach but more secluded). whole coast of oregon is incredible!

Oh, the lure of San Francisco… I always dreamed I would end up living there as an adult because my parents lived there when they were young and hot in the 90s. I visited a lot growing up and was always enchanted. Ended up going to Berkeley for school and by then the vibe in SF… was already off. Expensive and full of tech bros wearing backpacks at bars and increasingly soulless. The housing crisis is devastating and visible on every street you walk down. I went last October for work and it felt so haunted.
But if you must…
🖤 Scoma’s (fancy lunch in fisherman’s wharf, get the Crab Louie and a martini)
🖤 Tommy’s Joynt (no fuss meat sandwiches & cheap cocktails)
🖤 Vesuvio (perfect bar, iSpy vibes in terms of decor)
🖤 Tommasso’s (best italian. Get the chilled broccoli and some sort of pizza with arugula on it)
🖤 Swensen’s (my favorite ice cream in the world. I miss it and dream of it. Get sticky chewy chocolate or banana)
🖤 House of Nanking (go when you’re starving for Hot Food! you may have to wait a little but it won’t be that long. Get the green beans and if they have congee, by god get that. Also ask for chili oil)
🖤 The East Bay!! (Go to Berkeley and Oakland. They’re better lol)
