Food in the Travel Section was interesting. Didn't know there was a Georgetown Seattle. I think I passed through there once without realizing that's what it was.
(Seattle Metro bus detour)
Looks like a fun place to hang out! Cool comic books at Fantagraphics!

not much chance of "passing through georgetown", it's pretty far out of the way for most tourists, and takes about 3 different buses from downtown. however, it is one of the greatest neighborhoods in seattle. new restaurant, The Corson Building, is one to look out for!!!!!

I was at Zabar's on Sunday to get some things to eat at Central Park. The list included a baguette, smoked salmon spread, brie, a mix of olives and pickles, and fresh grapefruit juice. Everything was amazing and reasonably priced (I would have spent double had I gone to a brunch). If you are ever in the Upper West Side, you must make a stop at Zabar's!
