Here & There: Melrose Market

In Seattle, you can find many things to fill your fancy all within the same blocks of each other. Here & There is just that... sharing locations in close proximity that will give you a little variety in your exploration.

First up: Sitka & Spruce and Marigold & Mint
Location: Melrose Market, Capitol Hill Seattle

Sitka & Spruce is not a new restaurant to Andbubblegum. As one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle I have shared it with you here and here. It shares new american cuisine with an always revolving/evolving menu. I recently had their Monday taco night and have heard rave reviews on their Sunday brunch. They accept reservations online which is recommended over drop ins unless you don't mind waiting.

Marigold & Mint is a flower shop that is just next door to Sitka & Spruce. You will find gorgeous fresh flowers in the brightest of blooms and little gifts to accompany a bouquet. The shop owner is personable and can help even the most clueless put together a stunning arrangement.

Still unsure? Go with my favorite, peonies with dianthus barbathus (green trick) seen here.
