First, let me get you to this shiny block on a gritty end of 2nd Avenue.  Walk down 2nd Avenue heading North (you know, towards the Space Needle).. eventually you’ll find yourself between Bell and Battery Streets.     Lots to choose from and lots of good food.

From downtown, you’ll hit Wasabi Bistro first…. has a nice outdoor patio, but can’t guarantee you won’t get begged upon.     Modern Japanese is what they call it.  I say sushi & sake.

Next is Kushibar…. another outdoor patio but this one is somewhat protected from the street “peeps”.   Japanese street food on the menu.

One more door down is the Tavolata … one word… yum.    Italian wines and housemade pasta.

Buckley’s is at the end of the block with it’s fancy pub food and tv sports action found inside.

Then finally as you cross Battery – you’ll see Shiro’s, which many say is the best sushi in town… Master Chef Shiro resides here, trained in Tokyo on Ginza.   Seattle can thank Shiro for it’s first sushi restaurant back when he started up Nikkos in the late 60’s.     If you’re a sushi lovER.. this is your place.
