Get away without going away. Here are real prices* for a special night for two on the town -- with a sleepover.

Art galleries out the door; historic Pioneer Square close by; Safeco Field an easy walk. $169 for a mid-June Saturday. 77 Yesler Way, www.pioneersquare.com

Dinner: Stroll a few blocks south to F.X. McRory's. Think steak and fish in the linen-table dining room (or burgers in the sports bar). Jumbo prawn cocktail, grilled wild salmon and top sirloin steak: $58.85. 419 Occidental Avenue S., www.fxmcrorys.com

Breakfast: The hotel offers a free continental breakfast. Or indulge in a Bacon Egg Bolo at the Grand Central Baking Co., $5.75 each for the upscale breakfast sandwich. Sit indoors in its airy room or outdoors in Occidental Park on a sunny day. 214 First Ave. S., www.grandcentralbakery.com

Before checkout: Cruise the bookshelves at Elliott Bay Book Co., 101 S. Main St., www.elliottbaybook.com; window-shop along First Avenue.

The damage: $239.35 plus taxes, tip (and whatever you drink).

*Prices may vary by date of stay and date booked. These are current prices found on the Web, by phone or in a recent visit.
