Food Scene

This is easily my #1 restaurant in Portland to recommend. A true Portland classic in ambiance, cuisine and scene. I've loved it since I moved here in '96. Cajun cuisine and the Mac & Cheese that made Portland famous for Mac & Cheese. Pro tip: get your leftovers wrapped to go ;)

Sightseeing

A treat for tourists and locals alike! I highly recommend this 3 mile loop for an urban hike, jog or bicycle ride. Great views of downtown. From the Steel Bridge to the Hawthorne Bridge you can make a loop from east side to west side on the downtown banks of the Willamette River.

Parks & Nature

Best spot for sunrises and sunsets in Portland! 360 degree views of entire metro area (on a clear day). Check out all our snow capped peaks, watch airplanes land & take off and enjoy a picnic hangout.

Portland has the largest forested park within city limits in the USA! You can run/walk on a trail for over 30 miles and still remain within the city limits. We are so lucky to have this available within our city. Most trail heads are accessible by bus. I used to work for Forest Park Conservancy so I can hook you up with great run/hike trail loops within the park.

Arts & Culture

I'm so lucky to have this fantastic theatre so nearby! Hollywood Theatre is "the" spot to hit for old time cinema experience. They host some of the best current releases as well as showing more obscure showings hosted by film historians.
