The chicken tostada is to die for, but mainly I love this down-home establishment for its friendly staff and casual atmosphere. If you're in there for breakfast, don't miss Jen's Potatoes!

The famous boat elevator, lifting boats up to lake level and down to sea level. A must-see. Don't miss the fish ladder on the Magnolia side of the locks, or the botanical gardens on the Ballard side! The train bridge is a gorgeous site as well.
