SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

Popularized through movies, Seattle is known as the birthplace of grunge music and  Starbucks coffee. Naturally, it’s a great getaway place.

Cozy vibe: Hotel Vintage Park, 1100 Fifth Avenue

Eat
Start your morning off with a champagne mimosa, red bull, and one of the many Benedict’s at the coolest breakfast place around, Peso’s Kitchen & Lounge ( pesoskitchen.com ), 605 Queen Anne Avenue.

There is no better place for dinner than Wasabi Bistro ( wasabibistro.biz ), 2311 Second Avenue. Go for the spicy tofu with ginger sauce, samurai roll, or green decadence roll. There’s always a big line so we suggest making reservations.
