Pike Place Market

Sorry for slow updates. My in-laws are visiting and we have been busy doing touristy things! Here are some pictures from Pike Place Market.

Piroshky-Piroshky, probably made famous by Anthony Bourdain's visit, is one of the most popular vendors here. They make a really yummy cheese and green onion piroshky.

At Beecher's you can sit on these cute milk-jug stools and watch them make fresh artisan cheese.

HUGE Nutella jars at DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine, one of my favorite stores here. They have great cannoli.

Pike Place Market has a great selection of fresh fish.

And flowers. Each bouquet is usually $5 or $10. A lot of bang for your buck.

Finally, the original Starbucks founded in 1971. A pop quiz: do you guys know where the name Starbucks comes from?

  1. I've only been to Seattle once, but when I make it back, I am definitely going to the Pike Place Market, even if it is touristy. It looks amazing.

    Oh, and the only Starbuck I can think of is from Battlestar Galactica :)

  6. Love the markets and strolling down the alleys, finding little hole in the wall restaurants, enjoying the views. Seattle is a fun place to visit.

  7. Shaz,

    Sorry for my late reply. I was in Portland for a while. Starbucks is named after one of the characters in Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.
