It's difficult to come up with a quintessential Seattle perch, but the new configuration of Matt's in the Market comes closest to the ideal. During the day, the murmur of Pike Place Market action drifts up and into the giant half-moon windows, which frame the neon Market sign, the sparkling bay, and the torn silhouette of the Olympics beyond. At night, the sunset threatens to steal your breath. Add to this a highly capable staff that possesses an adept touch with the bar's tidy selection of spirits, and you're one Moleskine away from becoming the next Jonathan Raban.?Maggie Savarino
