Bellevue Downtown Association lists 2008 Haute Picks
Planning a first date? No worries – the 2008 Downtown Bellevue Haute Picks are here to the rescue.
The Bellevue Downtown Association tallied the votes and announced the winners of this years 6th Annual Haute Picks competition. The list includes the top retailers and restaurants chosen as the “Best of” in 20 categories.
So when the big day finally roles around, spruce up prior to the date by stopping by Salon Bellezza, voted the Best Haircut in Bellevue. Go the extra mile and dress to impress by shopping at RAG mens style, voted Best Boutique. Next on the agenda, win some points by picking up a box of chocolates from Oh! Chocolate, voted Best Sweet Tooth Fix.
The date destination is a major component of pulling off a perfect night. Look no further than the top pick for Best Place for a First Date – The Parlor Billards & Spirits. As the night progresses, jump next door to Bellevue Place and grab a drink at Joeys, voted Best Cocktail for the “Super Nova” and Best Place to See and be Seen.
With the first date a smashing success (thank us later) and a second date on the horizon, refer to the list below for more ways to heat it up with Bellevue’s 2008 Haute Picks.
