Arbitrary Listicles

Thrillist has revealed its list of the 33 Best New Bars in America and two Seattle spots make the cut. The Old Sage gets a nod for "pairing hugely attractive smoked meat/seafood dishes with a huge range of smoky, Scotch-based cocktails." Von Trapp's also snagged a spot, mainly because it's ginormous and Sound of Music-y. RockCreek and Il Corvo made it onto Thrillist's 33 Best New Restaurants in America roster last week. [Thrillist]
