Beecher’s Handmade Cheese

If you like cheese; you're going to like this place.

World's Famous Mac and cheese and the flagship seem to be the most popular items.  Prices are a bit high, $5-$7 for a sandwich or a cup of mac and cheese, but it is really good.

There is also a pure cheese portion of the shop.

One recommendation is that you eat the food ASAP!!!!...as you know cheese does not sit well, and once your food goes cold, so does your appetite.

Piroshky Piroshky

Seattle Donuts

Cool, mom and pop-ish "piroshky", (which is like a danish, or donut) shop down by Pike's Place.

They have sweet ones and savory ones, and each one is in the $3-$5 dollar range.
The lines are long, and they do sell out of certain prioshkys, so I would go early to get your pick of the litter.

There's lots of food to try, l but I think even the locals approve of this one.

Eat Local

A hipster version of Wholefood market.

There's a cow made out of grass in the front of the store. That sound tell you how organic this place is.
I walked around this place...it's a food paradise for those looking for all organic, no processed food.
I was only interested in the ice cream; the lady at the counter was really friendly, and let me sample which ever flavor i wanted.

A pint is $5-$6 dollars, but tasty though. This place is cool, healthy...but expensive

Polar Bar

So this is what is feels like to go back in time.

Polar bar is a very interesting place. It is in a hotel; however the hotel is historic.
The Arctic Club was basically a Fraternity  house for Gold Miners going up to the Yukon for the Alaskan gold rush...and where the Polar bar is (on the first ground level floor) is they're gathering place.

The drinks are a bit more pricier (in the $12-$16) range for well drinks; however I think you are more paying for the experience. There's an old school pool table, the decor is amazing, and the bar tender was very friendly.  Last but not least, there is a giant polar bar in the bar.

Yes this is review coming from a tourist (from LA)...locals don't hate.

JUNO

Named after the movie, not the capitol.

I stayed at the Arctic Club Double tree upstairs, and got a voucher for $12 dollars to try out this place.

The food is good, although quite pricey. The food was fresh and not too heavy. Each plate for breakfast was around $15-$20 dollars. Juice is $5!

If you feel lazy (there's actually not too many places to eat around here other than in pioneer square.) and want to splurge a bit, this place isn't too bad. Although the decor isn't as cool as the upstairs part of the building, it was worth to give it a shot,
