Tucked into the middle of corporate office buildings in the heart of downtown
Seattle, at the plaza level of the 5th Avenue Building is O’Asian. This
is a classy Asian restaurant that showcases different authentic Asian cuisines
using local and seasonal ingredients. The dinner menu has a wide
array of selections including Kobe beef medallions, rack of lamb, Peking
duck, Szechwan kung-pao chicken, Dungeness crab, Hong Kong style
golden lobster, beef chow fun, Singapore vermicelli and much more.
Plus, O’Asian does not use MSG. During lunch hours (11:00am-3:00pm
weekdays and 10:00am-3:00pm weekends), the restaurant serves more
than 60 dim-sum selections made fresh in-house every day.
O’Asian also serves hard-to-find premium Asian teas as well as fusion signature
cocktails. To start your night, try O’Asian’s Oolong hi tea (O’Asian
special brewed Oolong tea mixed with just the right amount of shochu)
or a ginger lemon drop (a mix of Yazi vodka, triple sec, muddled lemons,
sweet-and-sour mix, all garnished with a lemon). The happy hour menu
has great deals including $4 draft beer, $5 house wine and cocktail of
the day, $4 dim sum and much more. It’s available from 4pm to 7pm
and 9pm to close, every day. The restaurant can be reserved for weddings,
corporate events and private dining with up to 200 guests. Free
validated parking is available.

For many, skydiving is an activity placed fairly high on the bucket list of
exciting things to do. However, for the vast majority of people living in
metropolitan areas, it’s not always easy to find time or money to fly up
several hundred feet into the air and jump out of a plane. Located just
next to Westfield Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, iFLY Seattle is the seventh
and most recent indoor skydiving and vertical wind tunnel to open globally
and provides the opportunity for Seattleites to experience the thrill
of skydiving at a low cost and without someone strapped to your back.
While it may not be exactly like skydiving, iFLY comes pretty close to it.
The vertical wind tunnel moves air up a large cylinder column in which
airflow is completely controlled by iFLY’s highly trained staff. Flyers are
trained on appropriate form and communicative gestures and signals
when in the air. If you’re really fancy, you can even do spins and tricks!
For those of you who would like to get a glimpse of what skydiving feels
like or just want to experience flying, iFLY is the place to go with your
family and friends.

Wasabi Bistro, the popular fusion sushi destination in Belltown, has begun
serving food at pnk Ultra on the top of Pacific Place. Sushi and sake
are served in a chic atmosphere with a contemporary twist. The new
menu offers a sushi roll for every mood and every occasion. Try the inglorious
basterd roll or the Promiscuous Princess Roll.
For the more traditional sort of bar hopper, Wasabi at Pnk also offers an
abundance of appetizers and bar plates. But why limit yourself to the
typical salty pub nuts? Here, you can lighten up your breath with fried
sweet potato and caramelized pears and brie with walnuts or, for those
of you not practicing your pick up lines, try a large helping of garlic
edamame and top it off with a spicy pork belly taco.
