Little Kids, Big City
On May 17, the Connecticut-based musician Steve Roslonek, also known as SteveSongs, will perform a benefit concert for Children's Hospital. This playful singer and his accompanying band will lead young ones through a host of fun, danceable tunes, with plenty of interactive fun to keep everyone excited.

The Dray doesn't offer hard liquor or "small plates" - just beer, wine, coffee and a few sandwiches. Every part of its buildout - the walls, the bar, the benches, the tables, the chairs - is made of cedar. It's named for a kind of horse-drawn cart, and is roughly the same size as its namesake. None of these things may sound all that significant on their own, but in summation they add up to the most genuinely Seattle bar to open its doors in too long a time.

Manners were very important in my household. My dad was a veritable stickler for etiquette, especially at mealtime. Napkin on your lap, hold your knife and fork the right way, no elbows on the table, no stacking plates after the meal is done, and on and on and on.

Even if we rarely set foot in them, there are some restaurants we love just for being there. I was introduced to the Virginia Inn
about 15 years ago, when my search for fellow French speakers led me to
the restaurant's Monday French night (sadly, now defunct), a weekly
gathering of the city's lonely Francophiles. I found it again years
later in the summer, on a sunny day, when its sidewalk patio beckoned
with an afternoon drink and a perfect lazy perch for people watching.
