Izindawo zokudlela ezintathu zaseSeattle zikuvuselele kanjani ukulethwa

Okhombisa Ngamaseli

Kusobala, ngisho nakuwo wonke amaFifth no-Olive, uDaisley Gordon akuyona indoda yakho ejwayelekile yokuhlinzeka ngamabhayisikili, lezi zithunywa ezishisayo ezihamba ngezitaladi ezine-subs kaJimmy John noma ukufakwa okugunyaziwe emithwalweni yezithunywa ezimnyama.

Ngesinye sezici, uGordon udonsa isigqoko sokuzivikela esisheshayo emthunzini weDay-Glo i-flamingo engacabanga ngokuzwakalayo. Kule ntambama emanzi ngoLwesine, ukhipha igagasi lokuchwayita ngaphambi kokudonsa i-Energy Bike yakhe, ukuhanjiswa kukagesi okungaba yiHummer ngokulandela imigomo yezithunywa ezahlukahlukene. Ngaphansi kwalesigqoko sokuzivikela, isifihla-buso se-houndstooth kanye nezingilazi ezinenkungu njalo kusithe ubuso bakhe bonke, futhi iqiniso lokuthi indoda eletha ibhega lewundlu lesikhathi sasemini ngaphansi komthunzi wamathrekhi kaMonorail nayo ingaba ngumnikazi wompheki wesikhungo seminyaka engu-26 sePike Place Market .

UGordon wacabanga ngokutholakala isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba ubhadane lucime igumbi lokudla laseCafe Campagne— “bekulokhu kunzima kakhulu ukuthi abantu babuyele edolobheni.” Izinkampani ezivela eceleni seziyindlela eyodwa yokwenza lokho, futhi uGordon uthole indlela emuva lapho enza umsebenzi owengeziwe nomugqa ongemuva ongemuhle.

Kufanele ngithole indoda kaDomino yebhayisikili bese ngiyikhokhela u- $ 50 ukukhetha umqondo wayo, ”wazicabangela.

Ngenkathi ukudla kukaGordon kudonsela kumasiko asemaphandleni aseFrance, ukukhanya kwakhe kokuphefumulelwa kokuhlinzeka kwafika lapha eduze nendawo yokuhlala. Ngokuqondile, amabhayisikili kagesi asiza abashayeli beDomino's Pizza aphansi ngokusebenzisa izivakashi zesiza. “Kufanele ngithole indoda yebhayisikili kaDomino bese ngiyikhokhela u- $ 50 ukukhetha umqondo wayo,” ezitshela. Ngenye indlela, wagcina ekhuluma nenkampani ehlinzeka ngamasondo abo, iRad Energy Bikes yomuntu siqu kaSeattle. UGordon uzibonakalise njengengulube ye-e-bike Guinea yokudlela, ikakhulukazi ngoba iyindlela yakhe yokuthola umshwalense. Uthole ibanga elingamamayela ayi-1.5, lisebenza kakhulu kumabhayisikili. Wathinta ibalazwe, wakhetha indawo eyisicaba, wahlehlisa iCafe Campagne njengendawo yokudlela yangakubo ehlinzeka ngobuningi be-condos. Ukunikezwa okungama- $ 50 okuncane kusho ukuthi isidlo sakusihlwa lapha kuhlala isenzo esengeziwe esenziwe ngenhloso kunokudla kwakusihlwa okungasetshenziswanga. Okufanayo kuya ekudleni, njengonxantathu we-crab quiche ophinde ukwazi ukuba silky ngemuva kokudilizwa kwawo kusuka ePike Place Market kuye eWestlake.

Ibhayisikili lihlale isikhathi eside lingenzi lutho amasonto ambalwa kulesi sikhathi sasehlobo kanti uGordon wahlela umshwalense wakhe. Ekugcineni, i-oda eliphambili lezimpahla lafika lapha — lisuka endaweni yokuhlala elakha ibhulokhi nesiqingatha.

Ucabanga ukuthi ugibele ibhayisikili lakhe elisha.

I-Courier Engahlosiwe

Ubungcweti obusha bukaLois Ko buqale ngomyalezo othephe ngokushesha kuNextdoor. Ukuvalwa kwalesi sikole kwakukhona njalo masonto onke ngalolo suku ekuqaleni kukaMashi, kodwa izivakashi ezazisiza abahamba ngezinyawo ezazigcina isitolo sakhe se-ayisikhilimu uCandy Alchemy, kuyo yonke iKolishi laseWashington, sahwamuka lapho ikolishi lithatha izifundo zedijithali.

U-Ko ucele indawo yakhe yase-Wedgwood ngobukhulu, Ngabe ukhona umuntu ongathanda ukuthi ngishiye ukhilimu (noma amabili) ka-ayisikhilimu emnyango wabo? Abantu bangakhokha ngeVenmo. “Ngithumeleni ukuze ngithole ukunambitheka!” esho, wafaka nesamba sakhe sangasese.

"Empeleni bekuyisikhuthazo sesibili," esho ngalokho kushicilelwa. "Nganginemibono ye-gazillion ehamba ngekhanda lami," iningi labo mayelana nokuthi emhlabeni ibhizinisi elikhangisa amapayinti ayi-12 lama-ayisikhilimu wobuciko lingasinda kanjani kulolu hlelo lwezezimali. Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, umakhalekhukhwini wakhe wabhuza. Ngokuphindaphindiwe. Abantu abangama-300 bafise uKo ukuletha uCandy Alchemy emnyango wabo.

Ucele, Ngabe ukhona umuntu onjengami oshiya iphenti (noma amabili) ka-ayisikhilimu emnyango womnyango wakhe?

UKo ubephethe ilungelo lobuchwepheshe i-Häagen-Dazs iminyaka eyi-10 ngaphambi kokuqala isitolo sakhe. Ezingeni elithile kulo mkhakha wobungcweti akazange acabange ngokuhlinzekwa; u-ayisikhilimu imayelana nokuzibeka wena njengamakhasimende endawo.

Manje, eqinisweni, amaklayenti ahlala lapho. Izinyembezi eziqhubekayo zeCovid-19 zenza abaningi bahlehle emuva ekuphumeni okungenanjongo. Kodwa-ke badinga u-ayisikhilimu. Futhi ama-burger. Futhi ama-pomme frites namakhithi we-negroni wabantu ababili. Okusikisela ukuthi uKo kanye nenqwaba yabaninimzi abakanye nabo ebhizinisini bafuna uhlelo lokuphakela olusebenzayo olungenakho ukunikeza imishwana emincane eseyivele mincane kuhlelo lokusebenza lomuntu wesithathu.

Ngalo mzuzu nje, isihlalo sikaKo siphinde sihlasele ngamakhaza. Ukuhanjiswa kwakhe okuyindilinga futhi ngo-Mashi kwathatha isikhathi eside, yize kunjalo wayekhipha amapayipi (futhi waxolisa) cishe phakathi kwamabili. Ekuqaleni, wehla izinyembezi zokuphelelwa ithemba kuCamry wakhe phakathi kwamaconsi. Manje ukuqonda kwakhe ngezinsiza kusebenza — kusuka emizileni ebalazweni olayini kuya emigodini ekwazi ukuzungeza — kungathokozisa abasebenzi be-UPS ops. UKo uzohambisa iphenti elilodwa eLynnwood noma eRenton noma eBellevue ngaphandle kokukhokhisa intengo yokuphakela. Abantu abaningi, uthi, ba-oda okwengeziwe.

Ubeka ama-oda kuvulandi we-shopper — iPersian Rose ne-chocolate-cookie-ganache DarkSide ziyizintandokazi — bese ekhala insimbi yomnyango bese ehlehla emotweni yakhe, ebuka ukuqinisekisa ukuthi othile uyaxazulula. UCandy Alchemy noma kunjalo unezindawo ezintathu zomzimba eSeattle, kepha “ngizwa sengathi kuzoba ngale ndlela okungenani kweyodwa,” kusho uKo ngokuletha kwakhe. "Uma nje manje sisasakazwa ngemali, lisekhona ithemba ngathi."

Le nqubo entsha ingazizwa inesizungu, uthi, ngemuva kweminyaka eminingi yokunikela ngama-waffle cones kubamukeli abajabule. UCandy Alchemy manje usenama-oda alungile ku-inthanethi, kepha eziningi zezicelo uKo azithole kuseli lakhe kusukela kulezi zinsuku zokuqala ziye zaqhakaza zaba yimicu yokuqukethwe kombhalo oshisayo. Imvamisa bahlala maphakathi nesithombe sokuvuma sebhodwe lepende elingenalutho, okuqukethwe kwalo kudliwe ngesikhathi esisodwa; imibhalo ejwayelekile kaKo iphinde ibe nemifanekiso yopende yakhe engenalutho. Lolu hlobo olusha lwabajwayelekile luhlinzeka nethemba lakhe, futhi.

UJeep ocatshangelwe kabusha

Akukhathalekile ukuthi yini ngempela ebamba iqhaza ohlelweni lwayo lomsindo, i-Eden Hill Provices Jeep izofaka ingoma eyodwa kuphela ekhanda lakho: umculo kaKelis “Milkshake”, ozoletha bonke abafana egcekeni. Le boxy, circa-1980 hardtop mannequin, eyenziwe ngokwezifiso epinki kakotini namaswidi — okugqamile okuvela kuBarbie okulingana nosayizi wokuphila — ngokuqinisekile kuyenga noma ngubani omakhelwane bayo emagcekeni abo. Ikakhulu lapho kuvuleka iqatha langemuva leJeep ukuze kuvezwe izintambo zokuxhuma ubisi ezintathu ezifakwe izintambo eziqukethwe emnyango futhi ezikwazi ukuphotha.

Umnikazi wendawo ye-Edeni Hill Providence, uMaximillian Petty, uthumela iJeep cishe kathathu ngosuku, ikakhulukazi imicimbi esekude nomphakathi noma imikhosi yosuku lokuzalwa. Izindawo eziningi zaseNdlovukazi u-Anne zinama-aphoyintimenti amile okuzolanda ama-milkshake masonto onke. IJeep ayisebenzisi kude kakhulu kunamamayela amathathu, ngoba ukubuya kokuhlala ekukhuphukeni kunenkinga yohlelo lwayo lweminyaka engama-40. I- I-Trolls ifilimu soundtrack izothola ukujikeleza okunzima. “Kwenza izingane zaneliswe ngokuphelele, okwenza ubaba nomama bangakunaki lokhu kudla,” kusho uPetty. Wayenganikeza ubumnandi bangempela, kodwa i-EHP milkshake Jeep yazalwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezazidinga ukuthi: "Kwathatha ubhadane ukungenza ngibe novalo olwanele lokubeka umsebenzi omningi nemali entweni eyodwa engubuwula kangaka."

Ngemuva kokuvalwa, indawo yakhe yokudlela enhle kakhulu, i-Eden Hill, yaba mnyama njengoba uPetty nomlingani wakhe, uJennifer, bethululela amandla abo okulwa noma okubaleka emiphakathini yabo engakahleleki, egxile e-burger egxile e-Eden Hill. Yakhula ngokushesha yaba enye yezindawo ezimbalwa zokudla edolobheni elibhekene nokuhlinzekwa kwalo. AbakwaPettys babeka inkolo yabo kumakhasimende abo futhi bathumela ama-burger aze afika eMercer Island naseBellevue ngaphandle kwezikhulu ezisemthethweni, abantu abathembayo babeka ama-oda anele ukwenza lolu hambo luzuze. "Babonakala ngathi futhi sizelula ngabo," kusho uPetty. "Sishiye lapho." Ummeli omshuwalense omangalisayo — indawo yokudla 'isikhali esisha semfihlo sokusinda kobhadane — uvikele abasebenzi imoto yokuvikela imoto abangaba nayo.

"Uma ngingehla, ngingahle ngicwilise umkhumbi wami ngalolu hlobo lweqembu lusizo futhi ngijabule, kunokuba ngedwa futhi ngingabi nalutho." —UMaximillian Petty

Khonamanjalo, iJeep yakudala eyayifuna ukulungiswa yahlala ngaphakathi kwendlela kaPettys, okuthengwa ngamandla ngemuva kokuvalwa, okwenzelwe ukulethwa. Lezi zithandani bezihlela ikhawunta ye-burger esheshayo; njengoba lelo cebo lakhula laya ngokuya liba kude, nabasebenzi bakhe bekhula ngokuya beguga, uPetty wahlangana kabusha. I-whimsy nokwethulwa kube ngaso sonke isikhathi kube yingxenye ephumelela kakhulu yedina e-Eden Hill; ngalelo gumbi lokudlela livaliwe noma kunjalo, umpheki wahambisa lokhu kuthambekela emotweni ngqo kunepuleti.

Manje, uhhafu wabasebenzi bakaPetty “baqeqeshwe ngokweqile” kwiJeep futhi balwela i-flip njengomphathi we-milkshake; Umpheki we-Edeni Hill Providence, uDavid Glass, ubonwe ukuthi uzodada ashiye umgwaqo ukuze akwazi ukupheka i-huckleberry cheesecake noma izimpande zobisi zobisi. Indawo yokudlela ibiza u- $ 25 ngeloli futhi ayenzi imali eningi ngalokhu kuphuma, ngaphandle kokuthi umgqugquzeli ngokungeziwe u-oda ama-burger nama-fries. Yize kunjalo, kusho uPetty, wethula ubuchwepheshe — nomoya wokungenisa izihambi — ngokushesha nje lapho ethembisile egumbini lakhe lokudlela. "Uma ngingehla, ngingahle ngicwilise umkhumbi wami ngalolu hlobo lweqembu lusizo futhi ngijabule, kunokuba ngedwa futhi ngingabi nalutho."

Ukunikezwa Kwe-DIY Komdabu Okungeziwe

Pho Bac Sonke isikhathi sehlobo, imoto ephoqelelwe yokuphoqelelwa yokupaka ebizwa ngePho Cell yathumela isobho le-noodle ezinkomishini ezintsha kanye namakhithi okudlela-kamuva ngaphakathi kwendawo engamakhilomitha amathathu yendawo eyiqiniso yendawo yokudlela. Ukuthola inzuzo kuzuza ngezimali zeqembu ezisiza iChinatown – District Worldwide.

I-Canlis Imijondolo yama-Crab kanye nokuzingelwa kwamagugu, isithonjana esikhulu sokudla noma kunjalo senza imijikelezo. Ababeyizisebenzi zangaphambili kwendlu bathumela izidlo zasendlini eziningi eminyango yamakhasimende; ayixhumani, kepha noma ngubani o-oda utshwala kufanele akhanyise i-ID ngewindi.

I-Bluebird Ice Cream Umninimzi uJosh Reynolds uhlanganisa inani lamasonto onke le-pint kanye ne-waffle cone oda oda bese elihambisa ngoLwesihlanu kuzo zonke izindawo eziningi ezisenyakatho.

AmaTacos kaManu Iphayona elihle likaManu Alfau Sq. Ikhawunda le-taco lingenye yezindawo zokudlela ezingaba ngu-140 eSeattle ezisayinwe neCatch 22, ipulatifomu yendawo esanda kuchanyuselwa enikeza ukubonakala ngamakhomishini aminyene. (Futhi ukutholakala kumahhala nge- $ 35 encane.)

I-Pagliacci Intandokazi kaSeattle yeminyaka engu-40 yokudla i-pizza ibinengqalasizinda yokuphakela eyayimiswe isikhathi eside ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane. Inkampani seyikhokhele phambili ngokuthenga izinto ezinkampanini ezahlukahlukene zomdabu (ubhiya we-ginger, izinkwa zebrioche, amakhukhi amaningi) njengezipho ezishaqisayo zabathengi.
