This food incubator business offers a rotating selection of vendors, who prepare authentic dishes from every corner of the world.
Sip: Get in touch with your inner Viking and experience the unique pleasures of a mead (honey wine) tasting at Oppegaard Meadery. After dinner, head to 13 Coins—a Seattle-area institution—where craft cocktails and a full bar come complete with live music every night (except Sunday and Monday).
