first make sure you hit the subscribe button also hit that little notification bell that lets you
know every time i post a new video every tuesday and thursday you definitely don't want to miss
out and without further ado let's go ahead and get started if you guys didn't already know brad and i
are originally from seattle we met going to uw and we just have a lot of mutual friends this place
always has felt like home it always will feel like home we currently live in la but we spent
a majority of our teenage life our dating life college life obviously in seattle so we know a
lot of the really good places but we also know a lot of the cooler spots that you may not be able
to find from travel guides on google you know i mean like only places that locals will know so i'm
super excited for this roundup we're gonna start with some of the most touristy spots and then i'm
gonna name off some of my favorite restaurants and i will be having a blog post with all these places
all in one place if you wanted to check that out i'll go ahead and leave my blog down below please
appreciate all the work that we put into this okay thank you so much so starting off if you're
visiting seattle the first thing that you have to do is obviously go to pike place market so this is
a farmers market that takes place every single day um it does close a little bit earlier around 6 p.m
so if you do want to go i would highly recommend going on like a weekday afternoon sash evening
and then you can walk over right to the waterfront and see the sunset from there after all the shops
close and all that but i just think that this market is so beautiful there's so much to do
there's lots of little vendors and shops the first ever starbucks is located there i personally have
never been just because i feel like it's such a hyped place there's always crazy lines but if you
love coffee if you love starbucks that is where the very first starbucks was opened here in
seattle it's in pike place also in pike place is piroshi poroshki and it's like a russian bakery
and when you go you have to get the smoked salmon because it's delicious when i went they sold out
highly recommend getting the smoked salmon but everything else that you can get is really good
i think the ham and cheese is good brand i also got like a something spinach we love piroshky
another place that we love in pike place is mesum it's a little chinese booth within pike place and
they have barbecue pork buns that are delicious their pot stickers are also amazing again little
bite size pieces so just great if you want like a midday little snack and they've also won lots
of awards as well also in pike place is pink door and this is like a italian restaurant
so seattle doesn't have a lot of like crazy notable restaurants but there are a few select
ones that we can appreciate so the pink door for me is one of them you're not gonna be blown away
by the flavor or the food per se it's a great restaurant don't get me wrong but it's more so the
ambiance of the whole restaurant it's randomly in an alleyway so if you haven't been for the first
time might be hard to find but it's literally just a pink door and there's a long staircase
that goes down into the restaurant and the food there is really good they had like a black seafood
linguine that was amazing but all the dishes are very very good you have to make reservations
in advance but a really fun date night spot also near peck place bran and i went for the first time
is kashiba sushi usually if you make a reservation you don't have to wait as long but we went with
our friend joshua and for the three of us it took an hour and a half to get seated but it was worth
it the omakasi was amazing it was around 120 a person which for omakasi is really not that bad
we are very impressed by the quality of the fish and would highly recommend that if you're looking
for sushi especially if you're in pie place already you can go ahead and put your name and
then walk around the market you know i mean also in pike place is the gum wall so i just feel like
there's so much to do in that area the gum wall is kind of like a famous couple walls that are just
filled with gum i think it's disgusting but if you want to go there just to go take photos maybe put
a piece of gum on the wall kind of a fun thing to do but there's so many things to do around
pike place if you want to get some fish get some oyster shooters there's lots of flowers and little
shops you can get like candle and skincare and all that good stuff and if you walk all the way
towards the waterfront there's actually a little pier situation where you can see the waterfront
and all that and i think it is really really pretty especially if you go around sunset it's
gorgeous number two miners landing minus landing is a gorgeous place it is right on the water
and there's lots of really fun restaurants around there if you want to get your clam chowder
fish and chips whatever there's also the crab pots if you want to get some like steamed seafood and
have them dump it on the table in front of you and eat it with like a little hammer thing thing
always a fun experience number three i would go to cap hill i feel like this whole area is so
fun there's so many great restaurants there's lots of really great shops boba shops there's lots of
little thrifty areas as well and i feel like cap hill it's kind of a cool hip area not a lot of
tourists know about so that's always kind of a fun thing about it also if you're into the nightlife
going out drinking there's lots of really fun bars in the area there's a lot of our favorite
stores around there likelihood has some really cool street wear sneakers their display is also
gorgeous so it's sometimes just fun to go in and look and see what they have
also a lot of the times they have sneakers that you can't find online that's my dad hi dad
um but yeah we love likelihood another shop that we like is bait so it's similar to likelihood
they don't have quite as many sneakers but it's a very curated shop you can find like anywhere from
clothes to t-shirts to books figurines we also love a lot of the vintage shops around there
we popped into the northwest vintage and there's lots of really cool like sportswear items you can
find some really cool vintage seattle mariners seahawks huskies other sport teams as well not
just like seattle teams one of the shop owners recommended soulmate which is like a sneaker
consignment shop they sell cool sneakers and stuff like that if that is your speed also if you are in
cap hill and you want to stay for dinner you have to go to bateau bateau is definitely on the list
of top 10 because it is a steakhouse but not like any steakhouse you've been to before bato
actually owns the cows and the farmland that the cows like graze on and stuff like that
their meat and quality of beef is so insane and they're all grass-fed raised sustainably and we
just love the food there's a burger that's off the menu that you have to order that is amazing like
one of the best burgers that we've ever had then if you're in cap hill this is not like a must that
you have to go to but drip tea boba is really good it's kind of like a hypey boba shop they also have
like clothes and kind of like hypebeast flavor names and stuff like that the actual boba itself
is pretty good and if you're in cap hill and shopping already you might as well stop and get
some boba you know nightlife if you're into going out and drinking some of my favorite go-to places
is rhino room and grams i love going to grimms for like kind of a lower key like it's still popping
there's still lots of people dancing and it's a really fun environment but if you want to get like
drink and drink in i would go to rhino room the downstairs area is really fun it's always super
packed i've also been to sugar hill that's really fun and still liquor is also really fun as well
number four on my list is the space needle the only reason why this is kind of lower on my list
is i feel like it's such a touristy thing to do if you want to go up the space needle i believe it is
34 and on sunday sometimes they have farmers markets like on the ground level they used to
have like a night market food market situation where they have lots of different vendors
definitely check their calendar and see if they are doing it this time of year and i don't know
if they're doing it with kovid but space needle is kind of a scenic thing that you have to see
if you want to go up i think it's great to do just once and it is gorgeous up there they also have a
new revolving glass floor that they just installed recently so that is also really really pretty you
get a nice view then some of our favorite spots to look at the space needle number one is kerry
park this is such a gorgeous viewpoint lately it has been getting busier and busier so we actually
went i think on like a saturday afternoon and got really really lucky there wasn't a whole lot
of people who were able to get some good photos from kerry park you can get a gorgeous view of the
city the space needle is just stunning from that viewpoint so i highly recommend that another place
that brand i love going is gas works park and from there it's kind of like a fun park we got takeout
from taitan which is like a thai restaurant that we love especially if you want some quick thai
food and you want to spend less than like 15 bucks highly recommend if you're on the ave it is so
good and then finally another great viewpoint for the space needle is alki beach this is also kind
of a fun area to hang out it's not really a beach we don't have anything like california beaches
it's the best that we have okay i think you can do bonfires from there as well but the view
of the city and the skyline is absolutely stunning from there so if you have time highly recommend
number five on my list is the aquarium i love the aquarium i feel like seattle is really known for
the seafood being by the ocean and so obviously you have to take advantage of the amazing aquarium
that we have it's also a great date night spot and our high school prom was actually held at
the aquarium as well so kind of just a fun place to go to but if you don't have time it's not the
end of the world some fun shopping areas like i said go to cap hill you get lots of really fun
shops little boutique areas around there u village is a fun area to shop it is near
uh university of washington and it's like this outdoor shopping area there's lots
of really fun shops to go to some food some little chain restaurants in there but there's
also a really big arizo which is like the main reason why i go there so if you want like a fun
little outdoor shopping experience we really like you village it's also really pretty restoration
hardware that's great to take pictures in we also love bellevue square mall so that's kind
of like a bigger mall that mall is really pretty really big the ritzy in there is really awesome
as well number seven on my list if you have time to go to a park and just hang out
i love taking advantage of the parks especially when the weather is beautiful
i personally love green lake and this is a park in seattle that is around this lake and in the summer
it's really fun my friends and i will bring like card games board games snacks and it's just fun to
hang out i also recently went to bellevue park so if you're on the east side this is a really
beautiful park that i feel like no one really talks about enough but it's a gorgeous park when
bran and i lived in seattle we actually lived in bellevue so we're very familiar with the east side
and we enjoy hanging out there just because it's a little bit quieter but you still get the city
vibes you know number eight we love kirkland so if you're ready on the east side as well kirkland's
kind of a little town and there's lots of really fun shops little boutiques lots of really great
restaurants around there and the waterfront there is actually gorgeous as well there you probably
won't find a lot of tourists just because i feel like everyone really stays in the main
seattle area so that's really nice if you kind of want to get away from that kind of just relax
hang out the restaurants around there are really really good you can rent bikes and stuff like
that and that's always a fun thing to do if you want more of a laid back day number nine hiking
if you have time to hike and you brought things to hike i feel like seattle has some of the prettiest
hikes i've ever done whenever i come here i always make time to go with some of my friends because
it's what i miss the most the air here in seattle is so crisp and once you get up in those hikes you
can see the gorgeous trees the mountains and it's just incomparable to anywhere else i feel like
the pacific northwest is really known for the mountains and the lakes and stuff like that so
highly recommend some of my favorite hikes that aren't super super far that aren't super difficult
as well rattlesnake ledge that one's like a fairly easy one i believe it's around three to four miles
we also love lake 22 blanca lake and serene lake so those are all really pretty hikes if you have
time to do that now let's get into the food some of the food i mentioned earlier sushi kashiba
super good omakasi great sushi bateau is amazing paseo they make the best caribbean
sandwiches so a couple of years ago they actually were bought out so i believe the original owner
now owns oon bien so i prefer going to unbian because the sandwiches taste just as good as they
originally did and for me the paseo quality has declined just a little bit so if you love a big
juicy sandwich with like grilled caramelized onions that just have so much flavor oftentimes
when you bite into one of these sandwiches the juices will like drip down your forearms and
they're honestly some of the best sandwiches that i've had in my life a very notable place to go for
sure another place i'd recommend is an oyster place walrus in the carpenter for date night a
couple of years ago and it still is ingrained in my memory as like such an amazing place seattle
is right near the water so of course we have some of the best oysters and a lot of these places have
happy hours as well so you can get like an oyster for one to two dollars which is a great deal
it's delicious highly recommend earlier i mentioned tai tom also has amazing thai food
super good as far as food goes i'll go ahead and pop the list right here and leave it in my
blog post as well all of the top places that i recommend i just feel like brand and i love
food so much so we have an endless list of recommendations and there's not enough time
