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.

Seeing Wonka at the SIFF Theater in Downtown Seattle

 The SIFF movie theater in Belltown just opened this month. This theater used to be the Cinerama. I saw Finding Nemo there years ago and there are two levels, a main floor and balcony seating. They only play one movie at a time. Their fan favorite Chocolate Popcorn is something I always wanted to try. They also serve beer and hard cider. When I saw the new Wonka movie was playing there, I reserved tickets. They also have an R2D2 from the MOPOP museum in Seattle. 

I got a Yonder Hard Cider and their signature Chocolate Popcorn and settled into my seat. Their seats are comfy with a ton of leg room, and they go back pretty far. This was my first experience having an alcoholic beverage during a movie and it was so much fun. The whole theater smells like chocolate because of the popcorn and the movie was about chocolate, so that was something I could get behind. The Wonka movie was charismatic, whimsical, and heartfelt.  

After the movie, we walked two blocks to the Amazon Spheres to see their holiday setup, a Nitro Enchanted Forest with twinkle lit-up trees. There were also fun benches that swung. Perfect for photos!
