It's dark and sexy here, good for a date or a bunch of adults getting together. The gnocci is super unique, it comes like big marshmallows lined up in a baking dish. Get one for the table.

This is hands down the best pasta in Seattle. Has a cult following, and lines out the door. You have to order before you can sit, and despite the crowds, it always seems that there's a seat when you need it. Just a few dishes are available everyday, always one or two for vegetarians. Don't overlook the bread and kale salad, but the pasta is the star. You can buy dried pasta and sauces to go too. Open for lunch on weekdays only. Go closer to 2PM to wait less.

Our market is a working place full of local food, crafts and small businesses. It might be touristy, but it's a special place. Make sure to explore the nooks and crannies of the place, there are lots of hidden alleys and lower levels. Home to the first Starbucks, Sur La Table, Beecher's Cheese, and Rachel's Ginger Beer locations—and many more. We recommend visiting in the morning before things get too crowded.

Once the tallest building West of the Mississippi, this beautiful tower has a pretty charming new tourist experience. Enter at the general store and buy a ticket, and explore some historical installations to the original staffed elevators and ride to the top floor. An observation deck wraps around a speakeasy styled bar. Beautiful at sunset.

Recently redubbed MoPop, this Frank Gehry building houses exhibits about music in Seattle and Sci-Fi, along with traveling shows. Some of the music exhibit is interactive. Most of the collection is owned by founder and local billionaire Paul Allen. Take the monorail there from Westlake Center. It goes right through the building!

A tiny, light-filled masterpiece by architect Stephen Holl on the Seattle University campus. Beautiful place for reflection and/or for architecture fans. The scale model of the chapel has been selected to become part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Open weekdays 7 am to 10 pm, with earlier evening hours on weekends. Go when there is light outside to watch the "gathering of the lights."
