Friends and relatives often ask me which Seattle highlights they shouldn't miss. The Space Needle? Fun, but crowded -- and the view is definitely a let-down when it's cloudy. Pike's Place Market? Only if you like having strange men throw smelly fish at you. I find that unnerving.
Thankfully, there are numerous less-well-advertised alternatives. The first one I want to highlight should be the first stop of any tourist's day -- Top Pot Doughnuts. (It's charming logo photographed here with bonus footage of the Seattle monorail in the background). A warm and welcoming spot -- bursting with books, music and cozy corners to snuggle in on a rainy day. But, above all, the place features the kind of doughnuts you just don't find too often in our mixed-up, high-tech, mass-produced feedbag culture -- warm, sweet and hand-forged. A truly comforting start to the day.
America's Best Doughnuts.
