that's a funny statement- i'm the complete opposite. course, i hate coffee, and you're a vegetarian.
seattle has some fantastic restaurants though- ella's and palace kitchen (both are tom douglas restaurants- he beat morimoto in iron chef america this season). won't find better seafood anywhere else. if you can find it, salumi is mario batali's father's deli. if you are downtown, union is really good too.
course, walk around pike place market (it's cherry season!), plus you can get some pretty good breakfast at market grill (i think that's the name). if the mariners are in town, safeco is a pretty stadium (not the best new stadium, but pretty). there are a handful of wineries just east of town. i'm sure rhett (or maybe pollard) can give you a better feel for the neighborhoods than i, though.
