Brunch at Oddfellows

Leave a comment

These past weekends we’ve had brunch at different places in Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and Wallingford.

One of them is Oddfellows Cafe & Bar in Capitol Hill.

The ambiance of Oddfellows is very casual (but what isn’t casual in Seattle?). I like the lively atmosphere of this cool restaurant, perfect for a brunch with the family or friends.

I like the vintage style details in the décor, as well as the flowers in vases on raw wood tables.

The Food we ordered was very tasty comfort food.
– Home made Biscuits with scrambled eggs. Biscuits were fresh and fluffy
– Eggs Benedict with avocado and tomato.
– Breakfast Panini eggs, bacon, provolone, tomato.
– I had the Veggie Hash skillet with lemon ricotta and fried egg that I highly recommend.

Don’t go there for an intimate lunch, it is loud and you can be close to people.

If there is a wait, you can always go to Elliott Bay Book Company next door, or the music store that sells vinyls across the street.

— Oddfellows Cafe & Bar 1525 10th ave 
Daily from 8am to … late

Where’d You Go, Bernadette

Leave a comment

“Your (School) mission statement, says Galer Street, is based on global connectitude. You, people, don’t just think outside the box, you think outside the dictionary!”

Seattle and its culture are very prominent in this funny novel by Maria Semple, Where’d You Go, Bernadette.

If you are familiar with Seattle, you will find many references such as the Craftsman houses, neighborhoods, the “Seattle Freeze” (how cold native Seattle residents are to outsiders), Microsoft, and Chihuly chandeliers:

“Hovering over me was the Chihuly chandelier. Chihuly’s are the pigeons of Seattle. They’re everywhere and even if they don’t get in your way, you can’t help but build up a kind of antipathy toward them.”

I would recommend checking this book out!
