Drinks & Nightlife
This is my go-to hangout. Great classic Portland tavern with a nice covered patio out back. Friendly bartenders, great cocktails, good selection of Northwest beer and wine. Small menu with some tasty salty bar snacks, charcuterie, sandwiches, and burgers.

One of my favorite bars in Portland. It's an all-vegan bar, with a large menu of vegan comfort food. Seriously, if you are hungry (vegan or otherwise) go here. Famous for their giant mason jar cocktails. Gets pretty loud at night on the weekends. Lots of outdoor seating in the front and back. Usually projecting the Blazers games if there's one on.

The Hilt

This is a pub and music venue, fairly similar to the Free House but one side is the bar and the other side is a small-scale music venue. Booths, large outdoor patio, great spot to catch a show.

Food Scene
Muscadine
Cute Southern American style restaurant with great brunch.
This is the little satellite restaurant of the famous thai restaurant, Pok Pok, in Southeast Portland. In my opinion, it's one of Portland's best kept secrets. You'll wait 3 hours at the mother Pok Pok, but can usually find a seat at its casual little sister. It has a reduced menu, but still serving the best of Pok Pok.

You could spend forever on these trails, and most trailheads are just a 10-15 minute drive away. Forest park is HUGE so if you're interested in checking it out, ask me for recommendations or find a detailed map online.

Historic 1912 French-style parterre, this is one of Portland's most beautiful formal rose gardens. The official Portland rose, named Mme. Caroline Testout, was cultivated in the garden. Once planted by the thousands along the streets of Portland, this rose earned Portland the name 'City of Roses.'
