Seattle: Variety / diversity

You can find any kind of ethnic food in Seattle. Korean eateries are huge. There’s pho on every third corner. Dim sum’s new king is Din Tai Fung in Bellevue, an outpost of a Taiwanese soup-dumpling chain that’s reputed to make the best in the world. And a large Indian population on the east side means there’s great Indian food there—something that’s almost nonexistent in P-Town.
