SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

Eat
Start your morning off with a champagne mimosa, red bull, and one of the many Benedict’s at the coolest breakfast place around, Peso’s Kitchen & Lounge (pesoskitchen.com), 605 Queen Anne Avenue.
There is no better place for dinner than Wasabi Bistro (wasabibistro.biz), 2311 Second Avenue. Go for the spicy tofu with ginger sauce, samurai roll, or green decadence roll. There’s always a big line so we suggest making reservations.
