Legendary. Rarely a day without lines down the block. Has been on most every travel food show you can imagine. Rich, Cuban sandwiches. Most people go for the Cuban Roast, but lots of us locals swear by the Paseo Press. Worth the wait!

If you consider yourself a burger snob, you'll be feeling pretty smug after being able to walk down the street for a meal here. Beautiful, flavorful burgers. Great shakes and onion rings. We vote the french fries are just mediocre.

Families, listen up! This place has really delicious food, a grown-up vibe, a full bar and....wait for it....a train table. Toys. Books. Kid's menu. I know, utopia. Just across the street from both the zoo and a wonderful playground. About a 15 minute walk from the house.

No kidding around here. These pies have been featured on several travel food shows. Our fave is the Mexican chocolate but you really can't go wrong.

We hosted a croissant tasting, and threw Fresh Flours in as our wildcard. It scored nearly as well as Bakery Nouveau (whose bakery won the Bakery World Cup in France). A really solid bakery with some unique Japanese treats from a local artisan they partner with.

Our favorite family restaurant. Authentic neapolitan pizza and delicious salads. Super kid friendly but with food that isn't dumbed-down. Adults will enjoy the pizza, cocktails, wine and beer. The best happy hour deals around, too!
Kids get WikiSticks to play with but they can also go up to the pizza counter and ask for a piece of raw pizza dough in a dish to play with. Their favorite part. :-D

Parks & Nature
Good any day of the year, with plenty to see and lots of fun activities. This is especially a favorite with families on rainy days because of Zoomazium. It is an indoor play area with "tree" climbing, slides, puzzles, live animal acitvities, toddler music times, etc. Separate play areas for older kids and toddlers. A lifesaver!

At the NW corner of the zoo (note: it shows up on the wrong corner on the map) there is a great playground. Definitely one of the nicer ones in the city and good for a wide range of ages.

One of the most popular sunny-day spots in the city! Walk the 3.1 mile loop or hop on a rental bike ($1/hour) that you can find parked all over the city. LimeBike and Ofo are the most popular, download their apps to find and rent bikes.
Around Greenlake you'll find a little of everything...public beach, boat rental, playground, wading pool, boat races, etc. You'll also find plenty of locals with very strong opinions about which direction you should go on the path, so follow the instructions painted on the pathway or risk the wrath of angry grannies. ;)
