CITY GUIDE
Chop Suey Books (photo below)
Not only will they order anything with
zero attitude and dynamite personal
customer service, their shelves teem
with the most beautifully curated mix
of well-priced vintage books. My hus-
band has the best luck there with finds
like an illustrated Swan Lake story-
book for my daughter and a Maurice
Sendak title I had never even heard of.

PLAY
Hotel Greene (photo above)
An indoor mini golf course set in the
(fictional) dregs of an elegant “19teens”
eastern European hotel inside the old
tea room of the grand (but since con-
verted to apartments) John Marshall
Hotel. Are you confused yet? Then it’s
working. The whole experience is like
being caught in a movie—and that’s
a good thing. Check the peepholes dis-
creetly placed throughout the course.
They are the work of Seattle artist and
Guggenheim fellow Rick Araluce. The
whole concept and execution are genius,
and it is actually really fun to play!
