Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

The Conservatory in Georgetown

Down in Georgetown, a neighborhood in South Seattle, you'll find The Conservatory.  They serve coffee and tea, but they also have a stage for live music, Burlesque shows, and life drawing.  The coffee shop is a long and narrow space with large windows in the front with a counter and then you walk to the back to order your drink.  There is plenty of seating for sipping coffee with friends or discussing business with clients over tea and a pastry.  The décor is interesting, too, with books displayed on a bookshelf and an animal mount on the wall.  There are even skulls and lanterns that give the place an edgy kind of vibe.  I just needed a break from my littles, so I left them in the able hands of my husband and booked it down the street to Georgetown.  I got a small Chai and a brownie.  Life can be stressful so sometimes a coffee break is just the answer.
