5 to Try: Martini Bars
It used to be that a martini simply referred to the combination of gin and vermouth, a beverage made for serious drinkers (or, rather, drinkers who took themselves seriously). Now, anything served in that tell-tale glass has an "-ini" on the end--whether you take yours dirty and stirred or neon green and served in a sugar-rimmed glass, these are the top five Seattle spots to get a martini or two.
Seattle's Best Classic Cocktails
Seattle may still be more of a microbrew town than a cocktail city, but a growing number of establishments are turning their attention to sophisticated mixology. With more local bartenders crafting classic cocktails, Seattle may one day have a drink named after it that’s more worthy than the horribly sweet Seattle Smog (a sweet mix of Midori melon, Peachtree schnapps, blue Curacao, cranberry juice and orange juice). From the new speakeasies to the restaurant bars, here are our top picks for drinking like you’re Don and Betty Draper.

Seattle Thanksgiving Planner 2009
Face it. Making a spectacular Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings is a chore, and it’s easy to overcook a turkey and wind up with a dry bird. Or, you may get over ambitious and spend hours trying to perfect the decadent turducken. Plus, the day of cooking inevitably ends with scrubbing the stuffing pan and breaking a few wine glasses. Don’t let yourself suffer. Be thankful Seattle’s finest eateries are ready to serve. Whether you'd like to dress up and eat out or keep it homey and order in, we have some prime picks.
MicroBrew Bars
My list of favorite bars where you can find great microbrews in the Seattle and Tacoma area. I could go on with another 30 but this is a good start.
5 to Try: Wine Bars
Need an alternative to your usual gin and tonic? Go low-key at one Seattle's newest crop of wine bars--they're more mellow than other after-work watering holes and offer a by-the-glass tour of Washington's greatest export. Go ahead, wear your purple teeth with pride.
5 to Try: Seattle Sports Bars
A good sports bar used to be one with a TV big enough to tell the teams apart; now they need 42" or bigger flatscreens on every wall streaming basketball, football and Premier League soccer simultaneously just to compete. But it isn't just about hi-def: There's some ineffable sporting spirit--which all of these bars have--that you can't get at Best Buy. Oh, and wings. Gotta have some decent wings.
Places to eat in different states
