ENDOLYNE JOE'S Part of the Chow Foods chain, this eatery dishes up updated classics for breakfast lunch and dinner, like Chimichurri Pork Tenderloin and Baked Mac & Cheese with Maytag blue cheese, cheddar, herbs, and breadcrumbs. An additional rotating menu takes diners around the world, stopping currently in Hawaii (Ahi Poke, Huli Huli Chicken, Coconut Sticky Rice.) Up the hill from the Fauntleroy ferry and on the Rapid Ride C line. 9261 45th Avenue SW, chowfoods.com/ endolyne-joes. THE WAX BAR The icy white Eurpoean décor might remind you of Scandinavia circa 1975, but The Wax Bar lives today on a crowded corner just o" the West Seattle Bridge. And they do mean bar: They claim to be the only wax- ers in town with a liquor license. The Wax Bar's estheticians pamper you with facials (including ones for your back and cheeks— yes, those cheeks), lash tints, skin lighten- ing, and of course, waxes for everywhere and anywhere. Pick up soothing aftercare and beauty products and gifts from Der- malogica, Butter London, Lux, and others. Watch their social media (or call and ask) for specials like happy hour deals on their Brazillian services. A Corona or a Linde- man's Framboise can only make the pain better.... right? 4462 37th Ave SW, thewax- barseattle.com. LOCOL BARLEY AND VINE Get a little hip on unhip-and-busy 35th Av- enue SW: head to Locol Barley and Vine for an urban happy hour or late night dinner. Live music of all kinds (jazz, acoustic, even soul) and upscale bar noshes will distract you till midnight (2am on weekends) in a city not known for its late-night night life. The short, veg-friendly food menu o"ers snacks (Doolie's East African Salsa & Cros- tini), soups (Curried Butternut Squash with coconut milk and Ka¬r lime), salads, sand- wiches (Porcini Dijon Field Roast Burger), and a couple desserts. If brewskis are your thing try the Left Hand Milk Stout, Alma- nac Farm to Barrel Sour Beer, or the Sound "Humulo Nimbus" DBL IPA. Cozy enough for a gals night, cool enough to impress your first date. locolseattle.com. BIRD ON A WIRE ESPRESSO Not too far from Westwood Village is a tiny co"ee house beloved by Westsiders. Own- ers skim Northwest-y places like Mighty-o Donuts and The Swinery for their pastries and café fare, making fresh soups and breakfast delights like the Breakfast 'Dilla (corn tortillas, cheese, egg, organic greens, vegetarian chili, and spicy sour cream.) Their co"ee, Raven's Brew, gets consistent praise from co"ee snobs, and you might even meet a new friend at their communal tables. Lots of quirky charm tucked away here in the growing I-35 corridor. 3509 SW Henderson; no website.
