Seattle - Day 2
Day 2...talk about sleeping in! Didn't leave the hotel room till about 2:00pm! Auwe!
I saw the Seattle episode of Man v. Food on the Food Network and the host was eating at Red Mill Burgers and once I saw it, I had to eat it. Even at 2:30pm the lines were super long and leading out the restaurant's entrance. I decided on the Verde burger and it was super good. I think I may have to give the edge to The Counter at Kahala Mall but this was a pretty damn good burger too.
Verde burger. Oh yeah!
Double bacon cheeseburger
Onion rings with tartar sauce. Yummy!
After the late lunch, went to check out the Underground Tour in Pioneer Square. I was a bit iffy about this tour as I'm not really a big tour taking guy in general but surprisingly, it turned out to be very entertaining as well as educational! The tour lasted 90 minutes and the guide was very skilled. Honestly, there isn't that much to see on this tour besides the basements of current buildings (used to be the first floors) but it was very interesting to learn about the history of Seattle and how the city rebuilt itself after the major fire in the late 1800s. Combine that with the cheesy but funny jokes mixed in at what seemed like a joke per 5 seconds, it was a very satisfying tour.
By now it was time for dinner so went down to the Waterfront to have dinner at The Crab Pot. The Crab Pot is in essence a gimmick restaurant geared to tourists but it wasn't bad. Their gimmick is to eliminate the need for all silverware and plates by bringing your food to your table in a big stainless steel bowl and then literally dumping the contents onto your table. All you're given is a mallet and a small fork. The dinner I ordered included Alaskan king crab legs, Dungeness crab legs, snow crab legs, mussels, clams, shrimp, Andouille sausage, corn, and red potatoes.
The Crab Pot
All they give you is a bib and a mallet.
Ready to eat!
After dinner, walked down a couple of piers to the Washington State Ferry dock to catch a ferry to Bainbridge. Since it was so late (caught the 11:00pm ferry), basically just caught the ferry to Bainbridge and came right back to check out the city lights from the water. The view of the lights from the water was pretty amazing. The ferry was a pretty cool ride. Very spacious and lots of seats offering great views from the water.
Can you make out the Space Needle in the background?
By the time the ferry trip was over, it was past 1:00am. Time to go to the hotel and sleep!
