New York City is infamous for turning every little space and corner into an apartment room and so most of the time you get these weird shaped rooms. Just like New York City, seems like parking lots in Seattle is doing the same thing. If there's space, let's turn it into a parking lot or parking structure.
Early last month my friends and I took a trip out to New Haven, hoping to try some apizza. Sadly we only made it out to one place, Modern Apizza, but I had fun the whole day. Randomly got lost when we first got to New Haven and found a bunch of taco trucks. We definitely had to try some and of course I got a lengua taco. At Modern Apizza we met up with our friends Mary & Derek and order a pie with half clams and half clams casino which had clams, bacon and peppers. We also ordered a whole pie with tomatoes. After eating 2 whole large pies we went to Yale to stroll around. Yale reminded me the time I was in Cambridge walking around Harvard. By the end of the day we drove by Sally's and Pete's but there were lines out the door and well we were all very full and tired. Also I didn't fell like standing in line in the cold, which of course means a much needed 2nd trip to New Haven.
I'll be spending the last week of 2010 in Seattle and San Francisco. Pretty exciting stuff. Last time I was in Seattle was 2006 and San Francisco in 2008. Even though it's vacation time and I would very much like to just chill and hang out in both cities, I want to use my time there being productive.
Some of you maybe familiar with my photo project where I take behind the scenes photos of food centric people, shops and restaurants in Brooklyn. People, shops and restaurants that make Brooklyn interesting. My goal is to show people what they usually don't see. The preparations of a pie dinner, a food blogger at work or a Monday morning delivery to a butcher shop. So I want to do the same thing in Seattle and San Francisco. I want to meet the people that lives in Seattle and San Francisco and are making those cities unique because of what they love to do.
I need your help. I don't know enough about the food scene in both cities to actually make a list of people/places I want to contact. If there are food bloggers in both cities that believe in something and are making a difference in their communities, I want to meet them or passionate pizza makers or local butchers demystifying meat or talented chefs doing intimate dinners or bread makers or farmers or...well basically everybody!
