Taste The East In the West – The Original Philly’s


There are few things that are harder than finding a place that will sate the appetite of both the vegetarians and carnivores in a group.  There are many places that will give a decent effort but one half of the group will leave feeling like they somehow missed out.  The Original Philly’s is not one of those places.    The Original Philly’s serves up classic Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches that won’t let your taste buds down.  The Deluxe is their signature sandwich and, heaped with steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms and melted cheese, it is built to appease any appetite.  (It’s also available as a Veggie Deluxe for the same great taste minus the steak.)   In addition to the Cheese Steaks, The Original Philly’s also offers a variety of hoagies, fried fish and some wickedly awesome cheese fries.   Just remember that when they call it a full instead of a large there’s probably a subconscious message there.

Feel The Speed – K-1 Speed Indoor Go-Kart Racing


Have you ever wanted to test your mettle against other drivers, but the bumper cars aren’t fast enough and you can’t afford the speeding tickets that would come from street racing?  K-1 Speed in Redmond has you covered.  Although these go-karts resemble the miniaturized vehicles you grew up driving at the amusement park, with a top speed of 40mph these are not your parent’s karts.  Add in the 7 turns, including a wicked hairpin, 7 other drivers and the ideal for drifting concrete floor and you have a heart pumping adrenalin ride that will have you racing again and again.  Just remember to leave your new found power slides at the track. http://www.k1speed.com/seattle-location.html
