07.23.10 (posted 07.31.10) - day two in seattle. i'm loving this city so far i must say. i began my day with a yummy lunch with a colleague at matt's in the market. it was great catching up with her.
afterwards, i headed over to seattle central library. it was redesigned in 2004 by architects rem koolhaus and joshua prince-ramus. there were a lot of fun and quirky design details like floor to ceiling steel lattices, the red room, conveyor belt for books, and wood blocks in various languages as flooring on the lower level.
in the evening, we celebrated my buddy, r's birthday. our first stop was a progressive oyster happy hour. it began at 50 cents and went up a quarter every half hour. afterwards, we took in the views at smith tower.
this was followed by dinner at cafe bengodi, cupcakes and coffee at cupcake royale, and a night cap at a speakeasy called knee high stocking company. whew! a packed but amazing day!
