Hopworks Urban Brewery

This is classic Portland: eco-friendly, locally brewed organic beers are made and served here, along with organic pizzas, burgers and such.

Portland City Grill

You can see for miles from this yummy place--it's 30 stories up in a building in downtown Portland, and the bar has two walls that are all windows. It's good for a really fancy dinner, but we usually just go for a happy hour snack, a drink and the view.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Yes, in Portland, coffee counts as food.

Wild Abandon

The Rehearsal Dinner is here at 7pm on Thursday. All out of town guests are invited to join us for dinner.

You can drink locally brewed beer and eat pizza while watching movies here. It's also a really beautiful old theater.

City of Portland: Washington Park Rose Gardens

We are the city of roses, you can see them for yourself at this park that overlooks downtown Portland.

Echo Theatre/Do Jump Physical

Drop in for a trapeze or acrobatics class. Or just watch Anonymous do it--he's here several times a week.

Mt Tabor Park

This is the only volcano within city limits in all of the US (I think!). Don't worry, it's not active, but you can hike some good trails and get a good view of the city from the top.

Multnomah Falls/Columbia River Gorge

If you have the time for a drive out of the city, the Columbia River Gorge is a great day-trip. Lots of waterfalls and hiking. You can also stop in Hood River for shopping and restaurants.

Portland Saturday Market

Check out their site for more details. Lots of local vendors, artists, entertainment and food.
