Food Scene

Whether you want a pastry or a hearty breakfast sandwich, Fressen is the best. They also have amazing coffee and roll up doors that let in the sunlight.

I love the Old Portland vibe here. One of the anchor businesses that helped bring Montavilla back to life. My go to is the AM Bagel with avocado and an Americano.

Drinks & Nightlife

If you want someplace dark and cozy that has amazing cocktails, a solid beer and wine selection and great nibbles, this place knocks it out of the park.

Great southern food, great beer and cider selection (as well as a full bar). Pool, pinball, what more could you ever need. As a bonus, you can also order fantastic sushi from Miyamoto next door.

Parks & Nature

This place is beautiful any time of year, but particularly in the autumn. It's absolutely serene if you need a place to zen out and it has beautiful views as well. It's the one "touristy" thing I still do consistently.

Gorgeous park with great views. I love taking the stairs at the 69th and Yamhill entrance. Makes the view so much more rewarding.

A great place to drive up to on a clear day for views of many Washington and Oregon mountains. I love to come up here for sunrise.

Shopping

I imagine you have already heard of Powell's as it's quite famous. It completely lives up to the hype. This + the Portland Japanese Gardens is one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday.

A little bit of a jaunt but worth it for the quality of the games. The original classic arcade in Portland.
