susandennisIn the olden days, I often went to the same place for brunch Sunday after Sunday, but then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
london1952 and a couple of others gave me the idea to blog my brunches. This turned out to be great fun but also has led me to look for and try new places a lot more than ever before. I'm not opposed to return visits... last weekend, I went back on Sunday to the place I found on Saturday. But, new places are fun, too.
There are a fair number of as yet unexplored by me restaurants in parts of town where parking sucks. On Sundays usually it's as hard to find but it is free. So I have a list of Sunday places to try that won't work as well on Saturdays.
Also timing... Lots of places don't open until 10. Sometimes that's ok but often I like to get started before then. So my list includes those that open earlier.
I was thinking this morning, of popping over to a French place not terribly far from here but looking ahead... next week, I'll need a special place. My handy man is coming about 11 so I'll need a place that opens early, is close - a place I can get in, get a great breakfast and get home by 11. That's the French place. So I'm saving it.
But, there is a spot, on Capital Hill, that's been on my list for a while. Capital Hill is the heart of Seattle's gay population. It's a bear for parking but... on Sundays the parking is free. This place opens at 9 and gays (a sweeping generalization here) sleep in. So, hopefully, I can pop over there at 9, grab a spot and give this place at try.
Then home for the baseball game and a nice, quiet, bear knitting day.
