EAT + DRINK

You know what place rules for lunch? Bento Factory. We always get the bento box lunch special for $7.75 and it comes with teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, pot stickers and a California roll. For real, all of that for only $7.75. It's legit, too. If you're thinking, "Hmm, I don't know if I want to eat a budget California roll," you're right in thinking that 99% of the time. However, this is the exception.

As per the weather forecast, we're all going to melt. If you haven't been to TCBY since 1997, it's time to go again. The one on Everett Mall Way has switched to the self-serve/mix & match concept with a dozen or so types of froyo and about a bazillion topping choices. It's heavenly on hot days. Plus, there's discounts for Pokemon Go players.
