There’s no better way to celebrate and toast to the year ahead than letting the good libations flow. Seattle’s top mixologists pulled out all the stops and impressed guests with their best cocktail at Seattleite and Google Places’ New Year Libations event on Thurs., Jan. 19 at Pravda Studios in Capitol Hill. Enjoy this video recap from the hottest event with the city’s most luscious libations — cheers!

A chance for Seattleites to lend a helping hand to a local foodie favorite.

“Come to the Table” is an auction and dinner to raise funds for the Volunteer Park Cafe, a “happy neighborhood restaurant.” For more than a year, the establishment underwent a rezoning process with the City of Seattle to make the change from grocery to restaurant. Legal fees have piled up, so the cafe decided to look to its neighbors for support.
