Good Selection

1. Sidecar For Pigs…

Neighborhood: University District

This place is cute and is for a good cause.  Not so crazy about the selection, but it is what is.  So save the pigs and buy some of your vegan supplies here.  You'll fell better for it....

2. Husky Deli

Neighborhood: West Seattle

I love Husky's and I am lactose intolerant!  The ice cream is so good.  Really it is the only ice cream I will eat.  The deli meat is great and a great selections and their grilled sandwiches are oh...

3. Uwajimaya

3. Armandino's Salumi

Neighborhood: Pioneer Square

Salumi has changed.  Sure, they still serve amazingly good cured and cooked meats, and interesting specials, but the truly genuine feel and sense of incredible value is gone.  Sandwiches used...

4. Zizo Market

5. Pike Place Fish…
