HONEYHOLE
SANDWICHES
$
( 206-709-1399; 703 E Pike St; sandwiches $5-12; 10am-2am; Pike-Pine)
Cozy by day,
irresistible at night, the Honeyhole has a lot to recommend it: big, stuffed sandwiches
with funny names (Luke Duke, the Texas Tease), greasy fries, a full bar, DJs and a cool
cubbyhole atmosphere after sunset.
BLUEBIRD MICROCREAMERY
ICE CREAM, BAR
$
(

;
1205 E Pike St; ice cream from $3; noon-10pm; Pike-
Pine)
We've witnessed the birth of the microbrewery, the micro-roastery and the micro-
distillery, so it was only a matter of time before someone came up with the micro-
creamery. Bluebird has gone further than other small-scale ice-cream makers by serving
beer and espresso in the same space, either separately (ie in a cup or glass) or mixed in
as an ice-cream flavor.
Ask for a tasting spoon and get your head (and tongue) around stout-flavored ice
cream made using the stout from Elysian brewery next door.
BIMBO'S CANTINA
MEXICAN
$
( 206-329-9978;
www.bimboscantina.com
;
1013 E Pike St; burritos $5.50-7.50; noon-2am;
Pike-Pine)
Bimbo's slings fat tacos, giant burritos and juicy quesadillas until late. The
space is bordello kitsch with velvet matador portraits, oil paintings with neon elements
and a hut-style thatched awning. The best feature of the restaurant is its subterranean
bar, the Cha-Cha Lounge.
MOLLY MOON'S
ICE CREAM

;
917 E Pine St; ice cream $3-5; noon-11pm;
Pike-Pine)
S
So what flavor will it be today? The chamomile blossom with 'vegan
cold' topping, the Stumptown coffee, or the salt licorice? Choices can be confusing at
Molly Moon's, where lines stretch out the door and the whole place smells enticingly of
waffles. Nursing locavore sensibilities, Molly gets its cream from hormone-free Wash-
ington cows. Its original location is in Wallingford.
