TODAY, OUR DATE TOOK US TO 


THE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT 


INTERESTING FACTS

SEATTLE'S ORIGINAL CHINATOWN WAS LOCATED NEXT TO PIONEER SQUARE BUT WAS RELOCATED IN THE LATE 1920'S

CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL IS LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HISTORIC PLACES


GOOD FOOD

WE ATE AT SEATTLE'S OLDEST CHINESE RESTAURANT

TAI TUNG


WHILE THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN QUITE SOME TIME, IT WAS FREQUENTED BY THE ONE AND ONLY BRUCE LEE! YOU CAN SIT IN THE BOOTH THAT HE FAVORITED. THE FOOD IS FRESH AND DELICIOUS.




DESSERT


FROM DINNER WE HEADED TO THE BAMBU CAFE. THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND SHAVED ICED DESSERT! I THOUGHT I WAS ORDERING A TRADITIONAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, BUT TO MY WONDERFUL SURPRISE, IT WAS MORE OF A SORBET. I WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK! 


FUN THINGS TO DO 

IF YOU ARE A PHOTOGRAPHER, THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT IS A COOL PLACE TO VISIT. FROM ART, TO CHICKENS IN THE WINDOW, TO COOL SHOPS--LIKE GORILLA GAMES, AND DISO--TO ONE OF A KIND EATERIES, THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT IS A CREATIVE DATE NIGHT FOR SURE. 



OVERALL WE GIVE THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT A SIX CHICKEN IN THE WINDOW RATING
