FROM LEFT Small plates from Café Munir. Explore the Ballard Farmers Market on Sundays.<br />
Day<br />
STREET MARKET • COCKTAILS • AFFORDABLE EATS<br />
On Sunday mornings, the neighborhood’s<br />
centerpiece, Ballard Avenue, closes to vehicle<br />
traffic and transforms into a street market.<br />
Local artists, busking musicians, farmers<br />
from the surrounding area, and artisan food<br />
producers set up booths in the center of the<br />
street for the day. Start your morning with<br />
a stroll, stopping for a morning kombucha<br />
(fermented tea) or hot apple cider.<br />
At the edge of the market, duck in for lunch<br />
at San Fermo, housed in one of the last quaint<br />
old homes on the street. Serving Italianinspired<br />
dishes often made with vegetables<br />
from the same farms selling outside and<br />
pairing prosecco-based cocktails, the<br />
refreshingly adorable restaurant makes a nice<br />
break from the market crowds.<br />
Powered by prosciutto and zeppole (Italian<br />
doughnuts), head back out to Ballard Avenue<br />
to check out the brick-and-mortar shops.<br />
From used mountaineering equipment<br />
at Second Ascent to clothes cool enough<br />
for a night out at Ballard’s hottest bars at<br />
Horseshoe, Ballard’s boutiques, vintage<br />
stores and consignment shops have treasures<br />
for truly every type.<br />
If this jam-packed weekend has you<br />
feeling overspent—in dollars or energy—<br />
Café Munir’s affordable chef’s menu will<br />
cure what ails you and send you home<br />
refreshed. Hidden in the northern corner of<br />
Ballard, this Lebanese restaurant celebrates<br />
Sundays by sending out three courses of its<br />
vegetable-forward food as part of a set meal.<br />
The parade of mezzes (small plates), grilled<br />
meat skewers, and Arab desserts provides<br />
as good a toast to a weekend in Ballard as<br />
any extensive collection of whiskey—though<br />
they’ve got that here, too.<br />
