Places to Eat
Great sandwich spot with very possibly the best breakfast burrito in town.
One of our absolute favorites. Elevated Thai food with some great cocktails.
Former Soviet Union inspired food through a PNW lens. Pelmeni, infused vodkas, good vibes.
Wood-fired Greek. Go for the skewers, hummus and pickled veggies, stay for the soft serve.
Beloved Portland pizza spot. The NW location does slices too!
Pies, biscuits, pastries, but mostly pies. Go after dinner. You won’t regret it.
The grocery store of your dreams, but also great lunch options and wines by the glass.
Do you like Thai food? How about BBQ? How about Thai BBQ? This has been a fan fav for a few years now.
Amazing tortas, bowls and salads. The margaritas are great too.
E-stab-lish-ment. Vibey steakhouse that’s been around since the 1940’s. Best steak in town, hands down.
Places to Drink
Great cocktails and wine on NW 21st. Plenty to see in this area as well.
Newer spot on Belmont. Solid food, really good cocktails and lots of space for whatever size group.
Endless amounts of wine. Sit and eat with some meats/cheese or grab some bottles to go.
Not just Scotch. The cocktails and food here are outstanding. Vintage vibe in inner-southeast.
Old high school turned music venue. Multiple bars, but the rooftop bar is the showstopper.
Good cocktails, but solid brunch and vibes too. East Burnside is a solid place for a bar crawl.
Martini bar on a really fun strip off East Burnside. Get a torta at Guero and finish the night at Angel Face.
Sister bar to Kann. Caribbean-inspired food and cocktails.
Classy, upscale dive bar with better food than you can get in a dive bar normally.
Great beer in inner-southeast. Spacious and kid-friendly.
Things to do
Immersive art experience in Southeast Portland. Kid friendly, but super fun for anybody.
Great spot for a hike or morning walk, bust just minutes outside of the city. Green and luscious.
DORMANT volcano right in the middle of Portland. Hit Coquine Market and take a walk up it.
Need to do some shopping? This mall might be right next to where you’re staying downtown.
Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. So much fun for kids and curious adults.
PSU Farmer’s Market (Saturday Only)
Whether you want some fresh produce or not, this is a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon.
Very fun town on the Columbia River 1 hour outside of Portland. Hit Pfriem or go wine tasting. Worth the trip.
Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Astoria
We LOVE the Oregon Coast out here. These are our 3 favorite coast towns. Only ~90min from downtown.
You probably know about this one already.. Bookworm paradise and Portland folk hero.
Want to do your shopping in the burbs? This mall is out in Beaverton and has everything you will need.
Need some zen time? This is worth spending a few hours for that mental break. Right outside of town
