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.

Baby & Co.

1936 1st Ave 206-448-4077

By shopping European and Japanese designer markets first hand for more than 30 years, Baby and Uri Burnstyn have become time-tested continental tastemakers. And proved that a little wackiness fashions wearable wonderment.

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.

Alhambra

101 Pine St 206-621-9571

Stunning cocktail dresses, fashion-forward casual clothes, and accessories by little-known European and American designers await at the elegant and rustically warm Granada namesake.  

Matt's in the Market

94 Pike St, Ste 32 206-467-7909

If we had a dollar for every time someone asked us for Seattle seafood recs, we’d be able to eat delectable fish by the glow of the Pike Place Market sign at this cozy eatery every night of the week.
