OK, I give up. What is the Harmon Hub?

Nice sign on the outside. Too bad it will soon be covered up by rowhouses on the vacant lot next door. Pretty soon, all the right-wing extremists out there who were so offended by Hustler Hollywood are going to start protesting that sign.

I wish someone would make a truly authentic slice of New York pie. I took really good pizza for granted growing up in Brooklyn, and ever since moving to the Northwest I have never found anything like it.

I hear New York has a lot of pizza places that New Yorkers like.

Just got home from the new space…love it. Great atmosphere, pizza was delicious and I don’t need to describe the ales.

Ok, dumb question here, so forgive me, but I assume kids are allowed like the Harmon — the is a restaraunt not a bar…? I like to try new joints, but frequently have at least one 10 year old in tow.

Yes, it all family friendly except for the bar area.

The rowhouses next door will be a primo location. Two restaurants within 50 steps of your front door. One of the best bars in the U.S. (Doyle’s) around the corner, as well as King’s Books.

From what I understand, they will be completely compliant with the parking requirements on that 25-foot lot and will not cause the onstreet spaces on 2nd to be lost.

For the 4th Im thinking a bike ride around town ending at the HUB is in order. Any takers?

You cant get a dui when riding a bike can you?

RCW 46.61.790
Intoxicated bicyclists.

(1) A law enforcement officer may offer to transport a bicycle rider who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or any drug and who is walking or moving along or within the right-of-way of a public roadway, unless the bicycle rider is to be taken into protective custody under RCW 70.96A.120. The law enforcement officer offering to transport an intoxicated bicycle rider under this section shall:

(a) Transport the intoxicated bicycle rider to a safe place; or

(b) Release the intoxicated bicycle rider to a competent person.

(2) The law enforcement officer shall not provide the assistance offered if the bicycle rider refuses to accept it. No suit or action may be commenced or prosecuted against the law enforcement officer, law enforcement agency, the state of Washington, or any political subdivision of the state for any act resulting from the refusal of the bicycle rider to accept this assistance.

(3) The law enforcement officer may impound the bicycle operated by an intoxicated bicycle rider if the officer determines that impoundment is necessary to reduce a threat to public safety, and there are no reasonable alternatives to impoundment. The bicyclist will be given a written notice of when and where the impounded bicycle may be reclaimed. The bicycle may be reclaimed by the bicycle rider when the bicycle rider no longer appears to be intoxicated, or by an individual who can establish ownership of the bicycle. The bicycle must be returned without payment of a fee. If the bicycle is not reclaimed within thirty days, it will be subject to sale or disposal consistent with agency procedures.

Thanks RickZ @15 – good information for my drinking and riding self.

I’m planning to ride to the Hub on Friday, hoping to arrive around 5 to meet some friends, before it (theoretically) gets too crowded. What did you have in mind,(A)roma?

MyMomThinksImCool, there is an on going conversation about this very topic, including pics, over at feedtacoma.

This was a clear nod to the original Gladiator Cycles poster that was done in 1895. Before nude cycling on pizza joints and wine labels was all the rage.
