Welcome to the latest in Seattle's nano-industries ('micro' was yester-
day's prefix!): freshly baked pies. 'What took them so long?' you'll be asking after
lunch at American Pie, where the crusty creations can be taken as a full meal - savory
for main and sweet for dessert - or a hearty snack. The vibe is typically Georgetown -
unpretentious but cool - and the walls are adorned with guess-the-album-cover art.
Three points if you get
Let it Bleed
(The Rolling Stones),
Breakfast in America
(Super-
tramp) and
Extra Texture
(George Harrison).

In the middle of
the night in Georgetown, life in the small strip fizzles down to this one 24-hour diner
equipped with all the classic trappings of cheap American eateries: 1950s decor, cozy
booths, a long wraparound bar, cheap, no-nonsense food, and ridiculously large por-
tions. The epic vanilla milkshake is made with Porter beer from the Nine Pound Ham-
mer bar next door.
