Smash Wine Bar and Bistro is celebrating their 5th anniversary today! Dana says she’ll have the patio open and the heaters out, so you can enjoy some early Spring outdoor happy hour (and a fine happy hour they have). Weatherman says sunny with a high in the upper 50’s, which, by Seattle standards, is prime outdoor seating weather.
Only five years? Doesn’t it seem longer? For the life of us, we can’t even remember what was there before it was Smash. Anyone?
(Smash is a Wallyhood sponsor)
Tien Tsin (sp?), a great Chinese Restaurant.
And before that, a matza ball soup joint.
Why don’t I remember this???
OMG, there was a matzo ball soup joint in Wallingford? Why oh why didn’t I get here earlier??
Wasn’t it that store called Embellishments? They had a Greenwood location too.
I think the time line is Matzoh Ball Soup (before even my time), Chinese Food, Embellishments, Smash.
Not sure I’m remembering the order right, but:
– Cybear Cafe
– Some deli/bagel place whose name I can’t remember
– Treasure Thai
– Embellishments
– What else?
Treasure Thai was before Embellishments. I couldn’t remember what it was called. I think the deli/bagel place and cyber cafe were in the other half of the space (where the salon is now) – cyber cafe, then deli, then hair salon. Whatever was before Treasure Thai and the cyber cafe predates my time in the hood.
