  What's your favorite coffeeshop to get work done?

  1 1 I heart Victrola on Pike; it's my new favorite spot. Great coffee, vibe, and friendly baristas. And they allow dogs to hang out, which is a plus in my book. Laurel Miller answered in Coffee & Tea about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  Best places to dine out alone?

  1 0 I've also dined by myself at The Corson Building, and like most communal dining experiences I've had, it was a great time. I also recommend sitting at the bar, where you can read or chat up the bartender. As a food and travel writer, my career essentially entails dining alone, and I actually prefer it much of the time. I know that some restaurants can be intimidating to solo diners, especially women, but fuck those places. If I get attitude, I won't go back, but I never let my alone-ness deter me from trying a place. Don't be self-conscious; I promise you the only person dwelling on your situation is you. Worst case, have an extra cocktail--it never fails to ease any discomfort you may feel. Laurel Miller answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 12 more answers »

  What was your favorite new restaurant this year?

  1 0 Sitka & Spruce, 2.0. When you can make simple dishes, some composed of only three to four ingredients, taste so damn good, you're doing something right (besides sourcing excellent product. The new Melrose Market space is a stunner, too, in the farmhouse/communal/bistro genre. Inviting, lovely, and good for a Vitamin D fix, thanks to a wall of windows above the counter tables.

  Who makes the best hot chocolate drink in Seattle

  1 0 Well there, Dick, It just so happens I wrote a piece for The Stranger on this very topic a year ago (link below). I'm still torn as to which is my favorite, but I think for a straight-up hot chocolate, I'll take Fran's, because I'm a slut for unsweetened whipped cream. I do go to Trophy Cupcakes in W-ford often, since I live nearby, and they do housemade marshmallows. For Mexican HC, it's El Diablo Coffee in QA, hand's down. Happy slurping! http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/some-like-it-hot-chocolate/Content?oid=2983656 Laurel Miller answered in Coffee & Tea about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 14 more answers »

  What is the best dim sum in Seattle?

  1 0 I was actually about to ask that same question myself, as I haven't found great dim sum here yet (I'm a Bay Area brat, I know). Anyone else out there want to provide some suggestions?
