I'm adding this to places to go to when I get down your way Miss Katz.....so far my top three are Allport Cards, Voodoo Donuts, and Powell's Books! :hangloose:

Okay,,,,,, but remember to put down Movie Madness, Nick's Famous Coney Island hot dogs, and Bagdad Theater (for film and food). :)

Voodoo donuts is worth the trip/experience.

There donuts are huge and very unique...in many ways.

Pegasus Book Exchange .........

4553 California Ave West Seattle

Blue Dog Cafe in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Best brunch on Sunday mornings at 1030 am. Get reservations first trust me!
Prime rib to die for as well as crab cake benedict.

Seafood Palace in Lake Charles

Best crawfish hands down. Gumbo was spot on as well. Its family owned and family operated just be prepared for a wait.

Here's some trivia about me that most might not know. Close family of mine up in Seattle, used to live in Chicago (back in the day). Our Uncle used to go down to D'Amatos bakery for the BEST cannoli, pizza, and Italian sub sandwiches. :balloon:

Located on the west side of Chicago, this bakery is an must see and dining experience.

WEB: www.damatoschicago.com

feel free to explore their website for menu prices and bakery offerings. They're open seven days a week.

As often as I've been exploring Chicago I've not come across this place! It's on my list now :hangloose:

I believe this exhibition runs thru January 2019.

This is going on my "MUST" for Portland..:hangloose:
