Neighborhoods We Love: Pike Place

Pike Place was made famous for its market, but that’s not the only thing it has to offer. This neighborhood is THE place for foodies. Head over to Beecher’s for the freshest mac n cheese of your entire life. This place used penne pasta and locally sourced cheeses to make this decadent twist on a childhood favorite. Having a rough day? Go to Rachel’s Ginger Beer for an adult beverage made with fresh ginger beer. The only drawback, you can’t walk around with your drink, so enjoy it in store. At night, when the Pike Place Market sign is nice and fluorescent red, head to Shug’s Soda Fountain and Ice Cream for their s’mores milkshake after a day full of walking and eating. Need a break from all of the shopping? Take a few steps down from the market towards the pier and you’ll find the Seattle Beer Company. Make friends with the bartender and avoid the tourists at this local favorite with an eclectic selection of on tap brews.

Of course, a visit isn’t complete without walking through the market itself. Keep your eyes open for fresh fruit and vegetables and the famous Seattle seafood.
