  0 0 Unfortunately you cannot get the one I like best this time of year, which is a sort of heirloom tomato caprese salad (fantastic). But I sat at the end of the bar where the orders come out and everything that came up looked really delicious. Here are some items from an old menu: Roasted baby chioggia & red beets, with blood oranges and farro; Bloomsdale spinach alla Romana, sautéed with garlic, pinenuts & golden raisins; Organic baby turnips & greens, roasted with garlic, anchovy & hot peppers; Arugula & roasted sunchokes, Red crimson pears, pecorino, agro di mosto & extra virgin olive oil Peter Andrijeski commented 4 months ago

  2 0 Okay, I went in after posting this and talked to Emily who was working at the bar. She explained that while it was partly a humorous nod to the cuckold definition, it was primarily a reference to an older use, related to use of the horns to chase away evil spirits. She didn't know about any particular Greenwood neighborhood evil spirits problems, but apparently there was an eerie chill at exactly the seat I happened to be sitting in. However, speculation of a ghostly cause ended when someone noticed a hole in the ceiling above that was channeling in cold air. Peter Andrijeski commented 4 months ago

  Secret gems of Aurora (and north seattle)?

  0 0 Aurora Ave is classic, but there are as many or more nice options along Greenwood. Bick's (10555 Greenwood) is a cozy place for good comfort food. Manna Smoked BBQ (10410 Holman Rd) is very fine BBQ -- you won't believe it from all outward appearances, but trust me on this one. 74th Street Alehouse (74th & Greenwood) is basically the first gastropub in Seattle, and has some of the city's best soups du jour (along with excellent salmon and chicken sandwiches). Carmelita (7314 Greenwood) is one of the better vegetarian restaurants in the city and has some fine cocktails to boot. If you're in the mood for fine, small plates and a good craft cocktail, Oliver's Twist (6822 Greenwood) is very nice. Finally, The Baranof (8549 Greenwood) is not particularly recommended for its food, but it is an epic neighborhood dive and has a small part in Seattle gastronomic history as the former location of Marie's, source of the still popular Marie's salad dressings.

  What's the best new pizza place?

  0 0 Bar del Corso. But it's on Beacon Hill and it's no secret, so you'll probably have a wait if you go anytime around the dinner hour. Not so new but really, really good are Serious Pie and Delancey. Peter Andrijeski answered in Eating Out 4 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Bars with unusual interiors?

  0 0 I'd second the Hideout and the Copper Gate (ask to see the Pussy Room while you're there). Unfortunately the Tiger Lounge and Bleu Bistro are now closed, but I would add Bathtub Gin, Needle and Thread (upstairs at Tavern Law), Cafe Racer and the Backdoor at Roxies.
