My group of friends and I have lived on the Eastside and Seattle area for most our lives, but we thought it would be fun to take a tour of Pike's Place Market, every though we all have been many times and know our way around.
Well, what a surprise - Marcia L. was fun and full of energy and information on a cold February day. Luckily it didn't rain, but we had a great tour no matter what. We all learned a lot about the history of the market even though we've followed it all our lives. There was so much more to learn.
Marcia had us tasting Daily Donuts, then Bottega Italiana for gelato. Saffron Spice for samosas, Ellenos, the pickle place, Pike Place Chowder, Truffle Cafe, Bavarian Meats, Pure Food Fish, Honest Biscuit, The Rub Shack and the Okanogan Fruits. Not in this order, but we ate our way through the market and were full at the end.
This was a great tour and we all highly recommend it for locals and out of town-ers. The information and food was informative and wonderful. We covered a lot of territory in this vast market.
I'd taken a tour of the market from another company - this one far surpassed it!
