Amy Song has lived in Seattle for about seven years, originally residing on the east coast. In her spare time, she loves to hang out with friends, go happy hour-hopping, playing with dogs and trying out quirky things she sees on daily deals such as trapeze and glass blowing.  

Share an ultimate insider tip for Seattle:
Seattle is a heavy happy hour kind of town. Happy hour deals are ubiquitous, and not just the typical 4-6, but a lot of places have late night after 9 or 10 deals as well.

If you could see any celebrity's reviews on Places, who would you choose and why?
Celebrity chefs!

What would your superpower be?
Teleportation so I can make all the happy hours!

What's your favorite Google Places community activity you've been to and why?
Oma Bap in Bellevue was eye opening! The event was very well put together and really showcased the restaurant and Korean cuisine as well.  I've had a lot of Korean food but they are really quite brilliant in presenting it in a fast, casual (but still definitely high quality) environment.

Finally, can you share any of your favorite Seattle places with us?

List - Here's how the review math works: 4 star food for 1 star prices (esp. for happy hour, but look at the rest of the menu -- $13 steak for dinner?? Great deals!) = 5 star establishment. Won't beat the quality, the service, and the $14 bottle of wine at any other happy hours.

Tilth - Maria Hines makes magic here! Try the tasting menu! It changes with the season, and gives you a little taste of a good chunk of the menu in case you can't decide on one thing! If you get it paired with the wine, you will leave happy!

Zuma Grocery - Awesome Ethiopian food here! Really simple menu but they make everything delicious (try the lamb -- a lot more tender than I've gotten in sit-down Ethiopian places). Also, giant portions!
