MUST TASTE
5 Delicious BLT Sandwiches
Aching for some bacon? Try our five favorite local takes on the classic sandwich, all of which add an extra special something, such as pork belly, fresh baked bread from Macina and even a soft-boiled egg.

MUST TIME TRAVEL
Safety Not Guaranteed
If you missed its local debut at SIFF, you have another chance to see this charming romantic comedy starring Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza, opening Friday. The story follows a Seattle magazine intern (you read that right) who stumbles into the strange world of a man who is attempting to go back in time. Bonus: it was filmed in Washington state, with some scenes shot right here in our SoDo offices.
6/8. Check listings for showtimes at Regal Meridian, Lincoln Square and Sundance Cinemas. safetynotguaranteedmovie.com

MUST SHOP
Crystalyn Kae Studio Sample Sale
Local designer Crystalyn Kae has been in business handcrafting popular Vegan and recycled leather handbags, purses and clutches for 11 years. Her wares are for sale at boutiques across the city and now even at the new Chihuly Garden and Glass gift shop. But if you visit her Phinney Ridge studio this weekend, you could score bag designs not found anywhere else and samples at 50-70 percent off.
