Nobody Wants a McDonald’s in Chinatown

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.

7 dishes from the year of Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, from alder-smoked salmon to glazed char siu

The Century 21 Exposition opened April 21, 1962, on a 74-acre site in Seattle, and the Space Needle had gone up from groundbreaking to finished tower in about a year so it would be ready for opening day. Nearly ten million visitors came through before the gates closed on October 21. The food that got the most attention was the Belgian waffle, which Walter Cleyman served with strawberries and whipped cream at two stands, selling more than half a million of them over six months.

Skip cooking: 19 Seattle-area spots with Thanksgiving meals to go

Don't feel like cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year? Seattle restaurants are offering everything from turkey feasts to Indian dishes and Caribbean-inspired holiday meals to enjoy at home.

Prices are before taxes and fees. 13 Coins (Pioneer Square): $220 for four people or $400 for eight. Herb-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and a choice of pumpkin or apple pie. Order by Nov. 15 for pickup Nov. 25. Ada's Restaurant & Bar (Phinney Ridge): $65 per person. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and seasonal vegetables. Orders can accommodate individuals or larger groups, with pickup Nov. 25. BluWater Bistro (Leschi): $220 for a turkey dinner or $320 for prime rib, each serving six. Both packages include salad, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and a bottle of pinot noir. Pickup is available Nov. 25 or Thanksgiving Day.

Coming out at Comet Tavern

Editor's note: “Dance Yourself Clean” is a biweekly column dedicated to reviewing local nightlife establishments through the eyes and sensibilities of an introvert. This is the final bar from my summer backlog, which can only mean one thing, soon I will have to actually try a new bar again instead of hiding away in my apartment. Fortunately, I have one more week of cowardice before I must face the real world again.
