Morning
Begin your late morning promenade at the corner of Pine and Melrose with a strong coffee at Bauhaus Books & Coffee , a long-time Capitol Hill hangout. Walk along Pine (slightly uphill towards Broadway) but don’t pass up Vintage Chick next door to Bauhaus for used duds with an edge. Area 51 (401 E Pine St) is a huge space filled with vintage furniture and kitschy one-of-a-kinds. One block farther east lies Linda’s Tavern , a legendary local watering hole frequented by musicians and record label folk that you can scope out for a later visit. Cross Harvard Avenue and you’ll notice the vintage Egyptian Theater (see Egyptian) on your right, showcasing independent and foreign films.
Afternoon
Cross Broadway, walk four blocks, and turn right on 13th Avenue to Pike Street. Turn right and have lunch at Elysian Brewery (see Elysian), home of Seattle’s most outstanding pale ale. Walk downhill on Pike to the Comet (922 E Pike St), a grungy tavern that’s popular with local musicians and wannabes. Cross Broadway and dream about a purchase at Phil Smart’s (600 E Pike) for your gold-trimmed imported sports car, or browse at Beyond the Closet (see Beyond the Closet Bookstore) for the latest in gay and lesbian literature. Check in with those far away at Uncle Elizabeth’s Internet Café (1123 Pike St), as down-town’s skyline slips into view two blocks away.
