Hotrod-A-Rama

When summer hits I undergo a visible transformation into a festival-frolicking female. The rest of my weekends this summer are booked with them, but there’s one in particular that changes me more than the rest. Hotrod-a-rama. As a matter of fact, this annual powerhouse festivity does a little something to everyone, and it

Young and happening

Something that I admire more than anything is young entrepreneurial hipsters who are working their business, making a big difference here in this T to the Town. I try to frequent their places as much as possible because I have so much respect for the fact that they’ve thrown themselves in

Stanley & Seafort’s and me

Oftentimes when looking for fun, you don’t have to go much farther than your own backyard. Lucky for me, my backyard-style good times include living within walking distance of one helluva place: Stanley & Seafort\'s. This restaurant means more to me than I’ve ever explained to anyone until right now. I was

Sixth Avenue is poppin'

This week I’m going to draw your attention away from just one establishment so you can have a look-see at the bigger picture. There’s a new Scene of the Crime that’s been emerging ever since I became a loyal Tacoma socialite, and it’s now requiring me to switch gears because this

Northend trifecta

Even though I’m your official nightlife correspondent, I have to confess that I’m not perfect. I wish it was possible for me to be in all places at all times (even though it might seem like that really is the case), but I am only one, singular girl. The point of the

Beer cans and Nikki Sixx

One of my absolute favorite things about New York City is the fact that they throw rockin’ happy hours. Promptly at 5 p.m. most days of the week, all of the suits scatter from the financial district and roll straight to bars that are playing cheesy hits like “Pour Some Sugar

The Party trifecta

As your nightlife research analyst, I completely understand that sometimes you just gotta shake things up. Even with the South Sound’s wide array of restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, the scene has a way of wearing on an individual with the same old song and dance. Leave it to Natasha to conduct

Club Masa

The next time you roll into Masa you might notice something a little different beneath those hipster shoes of yours. The proprietors have installed a dance floor in one half of their formal dining room. Tables will sit on the dance floor for lunch and dinner, but once the eating

The Voyage to Mystic Mocha

Inside The Crystal Voyage, calming music plays as fountains burble.  One west-facing fountain centered in a large window features three dolphins frolicking, spouting water. At a table, Matilda prepares to read tarot; the atmosphere in the space is conducive to that sort of thing. Underneath the shop at the Mystic Mocha Cafe,

Neighborhood nice

This week I’ll put you in my pocket and take you to a Proctor establishment with a name as sweet as it’s presence and ownership: Rosewood Cafe. This is a laid back neighborhood café that’s full for lunch and dinner. All of the faces in it are relaxed and smiling. Mine was,
