Can't Miss It: Tuesday
WHAT'S FOR DINNER: If you haven't heard already, Dine Around Seattle is once again happening--but only until November 30th. The deal is that you can go to any restaurant listed Sunday-Thursday for a three-course dinner for only $30. It makes our mouth water just thinking about it.... Earth & Ocean on a Tuesday night for a three-course meal at thirty bucks?! Ahhhhh, happiness. Besides Earth & Ocean, the list includes many greats--such as Spring Hill, Nell's, Campagne, and Chez Shea, along with a handful of Tom Douglas' restaurants. Too bad Lark isn't on the list, but we're sure we'll find a way to manage. Also keep in mind--many of the restaurants listed are additionally offering $15 lunch specials, so take advantage of it while you can! And as a courteous reminder--don't forget to tip!
Until November 30th // Around Seattle // Tickets: $15-30 (tax and gratuity not added)
NICK HORNBY TEACHES US: Nick Hornby's under-the-radar film An Education came out at the end of October, and it's still playing tonight at the Egyptian. Directed by Lone Scherfig and starring the always-dreamy Peter Sarsgaard, along with Carey Mulligan, Emma Thompson, and Alfred Molina, An Education is the coming-of-age story of a 1960s English schoolgirl whose life changes after meeting a playboy twice her age. For all the Nick Hornby lovers--you'll be completely satisfied, and for all of you who are yet to succumb to the Hornby fan club--you'll be nicely surprised.
