Weekend_Climberz Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 So, spending $10 a day on lunch is making my wallet a little light lately. Any suggestions for cheap downtown eating around the Pacific Place Shopping Center? Quote
fenderfour Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 It's near-ish: Bimbo's Bitchin Burrito Kitchen on Summit and Pine. Hot Mama's pizza is just up the street from there. Slices are pretty cheap and tasty Quote
snugtop Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Even closer: in the Westlake Mall food court the Indian place is cheap and good. Quote
Kitergal Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Hey...Nordstrom corporate office....the cafe. Called the Dish. It's open to the public...and it's HIGHLY subsidized. 10th floor. Â The courthouse cafe is also sweet! Super yumm and pretty cheap! Â By the gym in the convention center...underneath...Not sure what it's called..but it's the juice place. They have AWESOME brown rice and vegi bowls...the thai curry is super yumm!! Â There's always subway. Â And taco del mar...double punch mondays!! Â WC...You work in my neck of the woods.... Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 Subway quit their daily specials, so it's better to go up to Georgio's (plus the bread is better I think). Quote
Double_E Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Even closer: in the Westlake Mall food court the Indian place is cheap and good. A few years ago, I did a two-month temp job in the corporate offices of The Bon, and ate there a whole lot. Â Â And taco del mar...double punch mondays!! Â there on average twice a week for the past couple years. Good all times of year, but esp. in winter... when it's all gloomy out, all the beach/tropical decor and reggae music can't help but cheer ya up. Â I could probably name 3/4 of the TDM locations in the Seattle area. Quote
kix Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Hey...Nordstrom corporate office....the cafe. Called the Dish. It's open to the public...and it's HIGHLY subsidized. 10th floor. Â best beta I've ever read on this site. Â blue ribbon for you. Quote
dt_3pin Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Salumi, aka "meat heaven." Best sammys in Seattle. Period. Quote
espirita Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Is that the one owned by Mario Batali's dad? Quote
crazy_t Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Aahhh, Salumi. Truly the best. Cured meat heaven. Glasses of Italian table wine. Small, packed (sometimes hard to get a seat), truly a classic joint in a city where there aren't so many. Will cost close to/+ $10 though. Â Jones Barbeque also. The closest to downtown is in a small strip mall on Utah?, 1/2 block E of the intersection light btw. Starbucks and Home Depot off of 1st. Behind Earthwise. Awesome. Â Unfortunately both are "pilgrimage" distance from Pacific Place. Quote
dbb Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned: ZUM-ZUM! 3rd and Columbia (by the tower). awesome pakistani food, cheap and plentiful. but if you eat there every day your wallet won't be the only fatter thing. Try the chicken spinach. Â baguette box and honey hole are both great sandwich shops on the hill. and who can forget salumi. Quote
tivoli_mike Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I second the Zum-Zum recommendation, you can get combos too. one scoop lamb curry and one scoop chicken. Quote
EJohnson Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Two of my cheap favorites that are a short bus ride from Pacific Place are; Than Brothers on Broadway - under $5 for medium bowl of Pho and Seattle Deli one block north of Jackson st. 225 12th Ave S. $2.00 for a BBQ Pork Sandwich (Vietnamese)on realy good bread. Across the street from Seattle Deli is Malay Satay Hut(Malayian) 212 12th Ave S - truly amazing combination of Indian and Asian flavors. Quote
dt_3pin Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Seattle Deli one block north of Jackson st. 225 12th Ave S. $2.00 for a BBQ Pork Sandwich (Vietnamese)on realy good bread. Â The Vietnamese sammy place in the strip mall across 12th from Seattle Deli reigns supreme. 2 tofu spring rolls and a spicy pork sammy for $3.50 . . . hard to beat. Quote
espirita Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 What the hell!? I need to start eating lunch in Seattle! Quote
EWolfe Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 So, spending $10 a day on lunch is making my wallet a little light lately. Any suggestions for cheap downtown eating around the Pacific Place Shopping Center? Â Â Your Mama's, at 2nd and Pike! Quote
marylou Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 We can't forget Bakeman's for their unforgettable turkey sammiches. Quote
dt_3pin Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 We can't forget Bakeman's for their unforgettable turkey sammiches. Â Beware the Sammy Nazi! Â Bakeman's Quote
snugtop Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Not that cheap but Specialty's Bakery has the most amazing cookies, and a big variety. There's one downtown on third, one by Uwajimaya, and they're building one in City Center, where Briaz used to be across from WaMu. Â Just thinking about dem cookies makes me hungry. But alas I've sworn off sugar as my New Year's Resolution. Quote
MisterMo Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Even closer: in the Westlake Mall food court the Indian place is cheap and good. Â Quote
Dechristo Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Don't forget the frugality and epicurean delights available from the temporary storage containers located behind the aforementioned establishments; don't let the term "dumpster" deter you. Quote
marylou Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Anybody know a decent pho place in the downtown core? The place right east of the Market's a little dirty, and I don't know of any other spots. Â Anyone tried the take-away Vietnamese sammiches that Bambuza does during lunch? They have a little place just west of the main restaurant that's just open at lunchtime. Edited January 12, 2006 by marylou Quote
snugtop Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I only know places along Rainier Ave...but there is also a pho concession in the food court at Uwajimaya. Quote
