The Central District is where you’ll find Seattle University, Jimi Hendrix’s childhood haunts, and The Northwest African American Museum—and it was once home to the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party. This is one of the city’s most ethnically diverse neighborhoods, so it makes sense that there’s a ton of incredible food around. Have a hankering for beef tibs, fresh poke, or mini-mart fried chicken that rivals most full-blown restaurants? You’re in luck; the Central District is your next stop.
