For those gray days when some hot soup is just the ticket, Ramen Man is the play. The Spicy Original is our favorite, but be warned; the orange paste is habanero, and will be roughly 4 out of 5 for your average heat level. Open 4:30 to 10 pm.

There’s no better spot to catch an excellent sunset than Golden Gardens. The park boasts a sandy beach, volley ball nets, playground equipment and views of the Olympic Mountains across the sound. It’s one of two beaches in Seattle where you can light a fire in the designated fire pits while you take in the sunset or kick back and stargaze. The firepits are first come, first served, but we often show up with a bundle of wood and make new friends with the offering. The park opens at 4 am and closes at 11:30 pm. Check out the website for the history and picnic or bathhouse reservations.
