Food Scene
You like Thai food? You will love this place guaranteed! It's not typical Thai that you find in every other Thai restaurant, this one is much more. Everyone I have sent there has had rave reviews.

Lebanese at it's best! This is a family owned restaurant with outstanding food. I HIGHLY recommend the bubbling lamb appetizer...actually everything I've had there including their drinks as been amazing!

Mexican, is my favorite and this place doesn't disappoint. I've heard (from a source that's lived in several south and central American places) that they have the best Mole ever - I'm unable to try it myself (allergies) but I'll go with the countless positive reviews and say it's probably amazing! Good margs too!

I've heard nothing but outstanding things about this bakery. Due to allergies I am unable to go here but I would recommend it for a pastry in the morning, considering there is frequently a line out the door...

There are two locations for this place within a 10 blocks of each other...does that say enough? Great, quick tacos. Their carnitas is wonderful!

Parks & Nature
There is a beach, hiking, dog park, sailing all in one great area. You can even have bonfires here at night before 10PM. I highly recommend getting there for sunset and then having a bonfire with some friends.

Drinks & Nightlife
Want cheap, strong drinks in Ballard? This is the place. It's a dive with 1970's charm (no, literally it really hasn't been updated since then...including the bartender). It's my favorite local secret.
