Ballard Avenue and Market Street are quickly becoming some of Seattle's trendiest shopping and dining destinations. Be sure to check on the Farmer's Market on Sundays - it blocks Ballard Avenue until early in the afternoon and is chock-full of locally sourced goods. Try Bloom for dinner, Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery for deserts, Tractor Tavern or Conor Byrne Pub for live music, Anchored Ship for coffee, and Trove for eclectic local shopping.
