Teahouse Kuan Yin

1911 N 45th St
9am-11pm every day
This teahouse is pretty bourge-y, especially since it got new owners in '06. However! It's a great place to see the spectacle of "East and West rub weirdly against each other" while eating--they have vegan curry, Flying Apron pastries, a menu's worth of awesome tea, foccacia, and gelato.

Fremont Troll
N 36th St (Troll Avenue)
Under highway 99 is a large troll sculpture holding a real VW Bug. It’s one of those “must see” things in Seattle, like Kurt Cobain’s old house. It’s so famous that movies like 10 Things I Hate About You includes it in a romantic montage.
Gasworks Park
Just off the Burke Gilman Trail, Gasworks Park is a huge rotting gas refinement factory that has been converted into one of the most picturesque parks in town, and also a fun playground for kids. Teens come here to smoke pot by the water, and everyone else comes here on New Years and the 4th of July to breathe in fireworks smoke. There’s a huge hill in the middle of the park that is fun for stroller racing, kite flying, or sledding.
Greenlake
NE Ravenna Blvd & NE 71st St
This small lake is surrounded by a 3-mile paved path, perpetually occupied by strollers and people on rollerblades. This is a great place to hang out on a nice day and people-watch.
Woodland Park
N 50th St & Greenlake Way N
The park here has sports fields, a bmx course, and a shit-ton of feral rabbits. The Woodland Park Zoo is a big attraction for families with whiney children who like to scream at nerve-shot lions and giraffes. Still, their reptile house is fun, as are their penguins, that is, if you aren’t overcome by guilt and sadness while ogling captive wild animals.
