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. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice.

A Visit to Side Hustle Coffee and Doughnuts


The doughnut game in Seattle is strong right now. And a visit to Side Hustle Coffee and Doughnuts proved that they've got some of the best in town. Located in Georgetown inside of the Lower Case Brewery, Side Hustle slings some playful and extremely tasty doughnuts served inside compostable egg cartons. But you can only get them Friday through Sunday mornings so you have to plan accordingly. You also need to make sure you get there early or they may sell out. But is all that worth it for some doughnuts? Yes, indeed. They are good little things. These doughnuts are mini and some have fillings such as a coffee cream while others are topped with white frosting and Fruity Pebbles. The doughnuts are really soft and fluffy and they use Spent-Grain from Beer. They're also impossible to eat just one! My son and I picked up an assortment of twelve and an assortment of six doughnuts for my sister-in law. The flavors they were offering were Vanilla Buttercream with Fruity Pebbles and the Cream-Filled flavors were Chocolate, Coffee, Raspberry, and Vanilla. Now you can even pre-order by email and swing by and pick them up, and you don't have to worry about them selling out before you get there. That's smart business and some great tasting doughnuts.
