Macrina Bakery, Seattle, WA

Macrina Bakery, Seattle, WA Originally uploaded by ninetreats On a recent trip to Seattle I did some research ahead of time and came up with a couple bakeries that I wanted to visit while I was there on business. Fortunately they were both within walking distance of the hotel where I stayed, so each morning [...]

Richmond-Upon-Thames

HG Wells in Hampstead

IMG_2653 Originally uploaded by ninetreats On Saturday I took myself on a self-guided walking tour through Hampstead and Hampstead Heath.

Big City Pizza?

Last fall I wrote my impressions of Big City Soup. It was good then. I have been back several times since then. It is still good. They have figured out how to make soup. But I write today with both trepidation and excitement. First, the trepidation. When an establishment figures out how to do something [...]

East Coast Subs

…recently opened very close to where I work. I had initially intended to wait several weeks before my first visit. Unfortunately circumstances arose that required me to get a quick lunch one day during their opening week and its convenience factor overrode my intentions. I walk past it at least twice a day coming to [...]

I caught the smell of wood smoke half a block away as I was walking to this new little pizza place in downtown Salt Lake. My visit this week was the result of another walk I had taken on a week or two earlier. Most afternoons I need some time to get out of my [...]
