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. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce.

A Visit to Shug's Soda Fountain and Ice Cream

If you're searching for a new spot to grab some ice cream to beat the heat, Shug's Soda Fountain and Ice Cream just steps away from Pike Place Market will hit the spot.  Not only will it cool you down but it will satisfy.
