Volunteer Park Conservatory

Leave a comment

I stopped at the Conservatory during a walk around Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill. The East Wing has been completely renovated and you can now access the 5 different display sections of this Victorian-style green house.

Some areas have benches, where you can sit and relax while watching the exotic flowers and plants.

The London Plane

Leave a comment
The London Plane: a New Opening in Pioneer Square.
It has a beautiful interior, not so much because of the decoration itself but because it is in the middle of a retail store that sells creative arrangements of flowers, pastries, cheese, canned and tinned food…
I had lunch at the bar, where a choice of newspapers are made available to you.
I had a large salad (chicories, cucumber, chickpeas, avocado, with tahine herbs dressing) that was very fresh. The Rhubarb Galette (tarte à la rhubarbe) was tasty but a little bit too sweet. They do not serve espresso but a very good drip coffee from their neighbor Caffè Umbria.
I’ll go back and give it a second chance because I really enjoyed having lunch in such a pleasant place and the owners are the same people in charge of Sitka & Spruce and Bar Sajor, two restaurants that I really like.
