Kathy's is a large bar and restaurant in the former All Nations Soccer Bar space -- what was once Seattle's first Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. The woman who waited on me was not Kathy but Michelle, whose brother is the owner and was married to Kathy, recently passed away. The family run homage to Kathy serves pretty standard pub or family diner style food to a crowd of neighborhood sports fans.

#1524 #S903 - The Forge Lounge, Seattle - 7/21/2011

 The Forge Lounge sits in a small space off the pedestrian overpass to the ferry dock along Marion.  Established by two firefighters, it has an industrial, working-man theme.  But it doesn't serve the Bud Lites and fried food of your average blue-collar dive bar.  Instead it has creative sandwiches and cocktails, and a funky, intimate vibe which fits brilliantly into the old waterfront.  Having a bar with this much personality is certainly a welcome addition to the downtown area.

#1522 #S902 - Pizzeria 22, Seattle - 7/18/2011

 Cary Kemp worked in a pizzeria on Via Tribulani in Naples, then helped launch the the Neapolitan, wood-fired pizza trend in Seattle.  He's recently had a mobile Neapolitan oven, and now he has a place of his own in West Seattle, around the corner from Yen Wor Village, and it is very much in the VT mold (including some of the dramatic Mt. Vesuvius paintings that briefly graced the Via Tribulani in the Crocodile).
