19th Ave East, Stevens (Capitol Hill)

A lot of locals complain about the traffic along 19th Avenue and 19th Avenue E, but it really doesn't seem that out of sorts than most of the other Seattle streets. Personally, I would drive anywhere in the city if it got me to my favorite Dim Sum restaurant and Seattle's best called Monsoon. This place is amazing! It is located in Capitol Hill at 615 19th Avenue E. Yes, you must like Dim Sum and if you do, you will not want to miss this great restaurant. They use the freshest produce and ingredients and during the summer there is patio seating. Lunch specials are priced really well and this is popular destination for evening romance.

I love this street! It’s like the less crowded and more charming version of 15th Avenue East. It doesn’t quite have the same amenities, but there’s enough to get by. The Little Theater is here. It used to be an independent movie theatre but a bunch of drama grads from the UW took it over and now they do really weird but accessible theatre for cheap there several times a year. There’s also a Tully’s, easy access to Volunteer Park, and a couple of great restaurants. Best of all, there’s always somewhere to park! Where else on Capitol Hill can you say that?
