This place is loved by the locals of the neighborhood and a great place to get a hearty breakfast without the long wait that so many Portland breakfast places have. Friendly service and good food within about 5 blocks of my home.

Some say this place has the best tacos in town. It is very good and the long lines are the tell tale sign that you are approaching it. Great tacos in a casual setting.

This place started as a local food cart and has expanded to a couple of brick and mortar places around town. GREAT tacos and the best house made salsas! Very casual and located on 50th just north of Powell. Seating is outside at picnic tables.

This is a local joice bar that has several locations around Portland. If you feel you have abused your body by too much food and drink, this would be a good place to stop in and treat your body to some whole food goodness. They also serve breakfast bowls with fruit, granola, etc.

This spot just opened up mid summer of 2017 and it is already a hot spot so there may be a wait to get in if you go during prime dining hours. This place serves up delicious Vietnamese street food and creative cocktails in a cozy space with a couple of outside tables. Friendly knowledgeable wait staff is a bonus. Highly recommend this, even if just for a quick drink and snack before heading on to the next hot spot.

This place just opened in the spring of 2017 and is fast becoming a fovorite for locals and tourists alike. They have several different kinds of Poke and you build your own bowl with a choice of ingredients, sides and toppings. The fish is fresh and delicious and it is very affordable with most bowls coming in at just $10. You can add an extra scoop of poke for $4 and even get two different kinds! A bit stark and sparse inside but clean lines and modern. Loving this place!

A trip to Portland would not be complete without a visit to a food cart pod and this one has a LOT of carts, a nice fire pit and plenty of undercover seating! Located on 11th and SE Madison so a long walk or about 7 minutes by car.

This is a small food cart pod but quality carts! Matt's BBQ is one of the top rated carts in Portland. There is also a full bar and they serve local brew and wine. Covered and heated patio. I love this place!

This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Portland! They have a great view from their patio and grow a lot of their ingredients in their rooftop garden. It is not walking distance but well worth the drive! Reservations are reccommended.

Drinks & Nightlife

Not a brewery but it is a tap room and there isn't a category for that. They have over 200 beers by the bottle and at least 16 taps. This is one of my favorite tap rooms in Portland! Outdoor seating out front and on the shady east side of the building for those hot summer days.

This is a great spot to listen to live music, enjoy a very casual outdoor patio and play corn hole! No food is served but Leroy's BBQ food cart is right on their patio so you can grab some nosh from there and enjoy it with your drink. Part of the patio is covered so good for those warm but rainy days, too. This is just a few blocks from my house, too!

Lovely dimly lit bar that is perfect for a date night. Although the name would lead you to believe otherwise, this is not a hotel. It is a great place to grab a cocktail or 2 and they are open until 2:am with the exception of Sundays when they close at midnight.

Parks & Nature

Mt Tabor is about a mile away and offers hiking trails leading to beautiful views over Portland. This park also has free live music and free movies in the park on select nights. Just walk north to Lincoln and head east (right) until you hit a big hill, then hit a trail to the top!

This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Portland due to the unusual set up of the streets and the beautiful rose garden in the center. Details from Wikipedia - Ladd's Addition is an inner southeast historic district of Portland, Oregon, United States. It is Portland's oldest planned residential development, and one of the oldest in the western United States.[1] The district is known in Portland for a diagonal street pattern, which is at odds with the rectilinear grid of the surrounding area. Roughly eight blocks (east-west) by ten blocks (north-south) in size (by reference to the surrounding grid), Ladd's is bordered by SE Hawthorne, Division, 12th, and 20th streets.

This consignment store is just a few blocks from my house and I enjoy perusing it once a month to see what new treasures they have. It is two stories of nice, second hand shopping.

Entertainment & Activities

McMenamin's is a local chain of interesting pubs/theaters/breweries owned by two brothers. This particular location is in the home of an old movie theater and they stillshow movies but with a twist; You can order hearty food fare and drinks to enjoy as you sit in one of the two stories of this iconic theater. Great for a rainy day. The food isn't the best in town, nor is the beer but still worth going for the experience!
