RIP Broadway Pita Pit

 

I owe you endless “thank you’s” for catering to my cravings between 1 and 2AM. Now that you are gone, I’m not exactly sure what I will do, but please know that you will never be forgotten in my heart or my stomach.

Nom. Yogurtland.

Best news of the summer? Yogurtland is coming to BROADWAY AKA Capitol Hill AKA my home! It will be the only location in Washington [for now] I screamed when I heard the news. I have nothing, but great things to say about this place. Last year, while I was visiting California, I had my first taste of Yogurtland and fell in love. There’s a frozen yogurt place here that I settle with called Shnoo, but they really aren’t on the same level at all. Sorray.

Instead of having to choose from one to four flavors [which is how it is right now] you can choose from up to 30+ flavors. You also get to choose the amount for each flavor you want (yeah you can have multiple flavors) and when you are finished mixing all of your toppings in you pay for how much it weighs. That’s all – so simple!

I am so excited to hear about this news and I think it’s really going to shake up things on the hill.

Is frozen yogurt making a comeback? Are cupcakes over? Maybe. Yogurtland will be here by the end of 2010 next to neighbors Genki Sushi and Panera

High 5 Pie, Molly Moon’s, Cupcake Royale, Old School Frozen Custard – Watch out.

Capitol Hill Eateries:

The Elliott Bay Cafe opened this past Friday, June 18th.

– My favorite organic sandwich shop Home Grown is coming to Capitol Hill at the Melrose Marketplace. I am somehow finding it very difficult to find this location.

– Goodbye Grey Gallery!! News will be posted on their new location.

Super Dave’s Super Sushi is opening the Pinto Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar on 408 Broadway this July. His real name is just Dave Nakamua, but the super just adds a bonus kick to it. Restaurant will be more like thai/sushi fusion.

– Popular chain from Hawaii, Genki Sushi, will open their second location in Seattle on Capitol Hill as well this July on Broadway near Pine. Conveyor belt style.

Tidbit Bistro will take over the old Vi Bacchus [everyone’s favorite, but closed, non-carding sushi place] Instead of sushi, they will be serving small Spanish and Italian plates.

Keeping Times Square Cool

Molly Dilworth’s latest canvas? Why it’s New York’s Times Square. Molly has been selected to help in promoting the campaign, Green Light For Midtown, which will help promote the city’s movement to improve mobility. Broadway in Time’s Square and Herald Square are the busiest in the city, but yesterday all traffic was shut down in this area so that pedestrians could enjoy their new makeover.

The concept, “Cool Water, Hot Island” spans about five blocks into Broadway that is set to mirror a river-like mirage. Dilworth will receive $15,000 for beating out 150 other submissions. Molly will also gets 18 months of display time beginning July.

Elliott Bay Book Co. to Capitol Hill!

Today, happened to be one of those days where I realized how much I loved living in Seattle. It was a gorgeous day despite my own rain cloud over my head because I missed the Outnet.com’s $1 sale on designer items at 3:46 AM, but other than that… solid. My evening was spent with my dear friend Megan as we ventured over to Broadway to Pho Than Brothers, through Cal Anderson Park stopping at Molly Moon’s Ice Cream and then hitting up the new Elliott Bay Book Co. The book store is amazing. The grand opening was yesterday and even though I missed it by a day – it really didn’t change much because the fresh smell of the wood was still looming inside. It was somewhat crowded, which is understandable for only being a day old. I never imagined what it would be like to have a bookstore in Capitol Hill nor did I realize how close it would be to my school. My only wish is that there were more tables and chairs because it would be a prime study spot. If you get a chance to stop into the store, take it!

riot ensues at American Apparel Sample Sale

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsE-rWC8Lg8]

I love American Apparel, I really do. I’ve never been to a sample sale of theirs, but I did attend a rummage sale last summer. It was a very peaceful sunny day out on Broadway. No one was in a hurry. There was no frenzy. Everyone kind of just took their time sifting through the clothes. Regardless of the slashed prices, you still want to find a good deal on something that fits and something that doesn’t have holes in it. Typical clothing eval.

Then I came across this video. People over in the UK must be deprived of American Apparel clothing to behave this way.

I Love New York Deli coming to Capitol Hill!

Capitol Hill is on the verge of a major breakthrough. First Po Dog, Seattle University’s numerous remodelings, renovations of old buildings, Elliott Bay Book Company’s moving, and now we can add I Love New York Deli to the list.

The new I Love New York Deli location will be right off Broadway between Pike and Pine (of course.) Everyone get ready for amazing sandwiches and … get ready for this… they might be open 24 hours! Seattle University students, you now have one more late night eatery option to add to your list of “places to eat after a night out on the hill.” All this time, you’ve had the street meat, Pita Pit, Dicks, etc, but now you can sink your teeth into a nice delicous sandwich. Competition beware.
