Peter Miller Books

1930 1st Ave 206-441-4114

A porn shop for decor whores. Miller’s seemingly inexhaustible and impeccable selection of books could lead you from a volume on Spanish villas to a survey of urban graffiti to a tiny treatise on shelving.

Le Pichet

1933 1st Ave 206-256-1499

Be like the French: Drink wine all day at a charming street-side cafe. White Beaujolais with oeufs plats starts the day, pair pinot with paté for le déjeuner, then share a pichet over a très authentique dinner.
