The inaugural Seattle Restaurant Week in April was such a success, another one is planned for October.

Four Queen Anne restaurants were involved in the first week, including Betty, Canlis, Crow, emmer&rye, How to Cook a Wolf, Ponti Seafood Grill, Portage, Ten Mercer, Paragon, and Via Tribunali. This time around, organizers are turning to Seattle residents to find out what restaurants they’d like to see on the list. Offer up suggestions via Twitter (@SeattleRW) or look for them on Facebook. Each restaurant submitted will be contacted to join in the 10-day foodie celebration.

The second Seattle Restaurant Week, from October 17 to 28, will offer the same deals as the first–a $25 three-course dinner menu and optional $15 three-course lunch menu, Sunday through Thursday.

The inaugural Seattle Restaurant Week, described by organizers as “the biggest celebration of dining out that our region has ever experienced,” is kicking off this Sunday, April 18 when 106 of the best restaurants across town will offer 3-course dinners for $25 Sunday-Thursday until Thursday, April 29.

Not surprising, nine Queen Anne restaurants are on that list:

1. Betty Restaurant & Bar
2. Canlis
3. Crow Restaurant & Bar
4. emmer&rye
5. How to Cook a Wolf
6. Portage
7. Ten Mercer
8. Paragon
9. Via Tribunali

“Queen Anne is making a huge showing for Seattle Restaurant Week, drawing people from other neighborhoods and definitely keeping their own neighbors happy,” wrote SRW PR representative Heather Jensvold.

Seattle Restaurant Week is a project of the Seattle Restaurant Cooperative, a group of Seattle restaurateurs, and is being sponsored by our news partner, The Seattle Times, alongside many others. More information here.

GoTime.com, a national online happy hour guide, has come up with the best happy hours in Upper and Lower Queen Anne, naming Paragon the king of the top of the hill, and Peso’s the ruler of Uptown.

Using user-generated voting, GoTime created a top ten list for happy hours all over Seattle, organized by neighborhood.

They also combined the data from all the neighborhoods to create one massive Top 100 happy hour best-of, in which Peso’s came in fourth for the whole city, after Umi Sake House in Belltown, and The Hi-Life and Matador in Ballard. Check out the picks for the top Upper and Lower Queen Anne happy hours, or join in and cast your vote here.

The SeaChordsmen Barbershop Chorus will bring their melodious harmonies to Queen Anne businesses on Monday, December 15, from 7:30 – 10:00 pm.

The Seattle SeaChordsmen, founded over 50 years ago, is a locally incorporated chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. It is their mission to “promote and encourage singing barbershop music, good fellowship and charitable activities in the Greater Seattle area with special emphasis on vocal music education in local schools.”

Following their tour of the hill, the group will visit the nearby Paragon (2125 Queen Anne Ave. N.) for some additional informal singing. Come along and join in the harmonies.
