Be sure to come here early! Avoid the crowds and tourists. Go on the bridge as well to get a nice top view. For the adventurists, go to the very top.
Wings of course! Other than that, anything else Thai is fair game. Be prepared for a wait!!
If you really want to, you can enjoy your Voodoo Donut here. Otherwise, chill and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
Chicken and waffles or else you're missing the point of coming here. Just kidding, expect every dish to be big, satisfying, and utterly delicious :9
Will be VERY crowded no matter what. Tourist trap but worth the try once. CASH ONLY!
The top level of this double decker bus is so cozy and wonderful. Try a sahlep, a milky drink only served during the winter in Turkey!
Don't eat all of your food. Their leftover containers are animals/objects made of tinfoil.
Sit above the waterfalls, you won't get in trouble unless you're drunk. In which case don't sit above the waterfalls.
Quaint, peaceful place for serenity. Not small nor big park but worth visiting once.

Did you know? This is the oldest museum in the Pacific Northwest and the seventh oldest in the United States. The collection includes Native American, Asian, European and American art.
Excellent beer! Get the sampler to start - you can choose any 6 beers from the current menu. Read more.
If you don't do Little Bird when you visit Portland, I feel sorry for you. The food is amaze balls and consistent for 18 months and counting. For those at R/GA, JDI.
Get your meal with the wine pairings! They are friendly and interested in sharing their knowledge. I felt comfortable asking questions despite my limited wine knowledge. The food is otherworldly.
If you don't feel like making pancakes, the Slappy Benedict is AMAZING! I'll die earlier for having the Pork Belly Benedict - SO worth it!
A tad bit sketchy in some parts but quaint during the day. Lan Su Garden nearby and nearby train to take you to and from Downtown.
Smoked rotisserie chicken and Harris Ranch prime rib were cooked to perfection. The Backyard Margarita in a jam jar is a must in a hot summer day!
Taking the tour inside isn't really necessary imo. The view of Portland in the backyard is a must though.
Ken opened what has been called the country’s best bakery nearly a decade ago, and we’ve been taking the sacrament ever since. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
This bookstore appeared on Portlandia as the “Women & Women First Bookstore.” It’s a feminist bookstore and community center.
This place is so damn cool! They have all kinds of natural wonders. It's half museum, half shop. They're jewelry is to die for! And all pretty affordable too. :)
Get the Spanish coffee over ice and make sure to take pictures while they are making it.
A classic example of Portland's coffee obsession, Ristretto's beans are hand roasted (hands put them on the fire… Johnny Blaze isn't palm-roasting them) to perfection. Read more.
Portland's finest micro-roaster prepares & brews exclusive single-origin coffees from around the world to perfection, using SCIENCE! No, really, their methods are precise & the results phenomenal.
The Multnomah Whiskey Library has nursed long lines and wait times since day one. The crowds are flocking for the gorgeously appointed room and the some-1,500 bottles of booze that line the walls.
Get the salmon hash. Seriously. I don't want to hear "but I wanted to try..." NO. Get the salmon hash. You're welcome.
Best looking bridge in Portland, by far. Created by the same guy who did San Fran's Golden Gate.
This park sits underneath the old green St. Johns bridge, and the way the bridge is built from underneath gives it the illusion that you're in a large cathedral building. Beautiful
You're 90% probably going to drive past this place without noticing it but if you do, you're in for a gem for the simplest, delicious Thai eatery.
Cards, cups, magnets and more. Some great travel gifts-a Made in Oregon type store but "Portland" specific.
Delicious! The donuts are small so you can order one of each variety on a plate of 4, 5, or 6 donuts. Unique chai flavors were amazing!
Free samples, music, and an assortment of Portland's best foods. What more could you ask for?
Sit at the grill for front row view of the action. Fried Terrine, Skirt Steak (a touch above medium rare), artichoke and blistered peppers. Cake and you are done.
Views galore. Come here Winter, Spring, or Fall for the best views of nature.
Great gift store! Could also find any touristy goodies for Oregon in general here as well.
The Original Stumptown location. Come here and chill for a relaxing morning with an amazing cup of coffee!
As someone who grew up eating and making southern Thai food, I can vouch for this place's authenticity & tastiness. Share the hat yai fried chicken, southern ground pork (khua Kling) + a curry.
Really delicious cheese selection with great sides and a nice happy hour menu. Can't remember the name exactly, but the sheep's cheese is unbeatable
Gigantic and cheap bowls of handmade pasta without pretension. Always try the Chicken Radiatore, which is an updated chicken cacciatore, complete with crispy chicken skin adornments.
A sculpture by Raymond Kaskey above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building. It's 34ft, 10in high. If standing, she would be about 50ft tall. A plaque contains a poem by Ronald Talney.
Try the Fried avocado street taco. Went here for Nacho Week. Got it as a supplement (unnecessary, but delicious). Their standard nachos look amazing, too.
Nice modern place. Come at 4 for happy hour and then 5 for normal dinner.
Undoubtedly the best brewery in PDX. 10-12 sours on tap, all absolutely phenomenal.
If Alvar aalto and Betty Crocker had a love child, it would be this Southeast Clinton Scandinavian place. Broder’s brunch is the most inventive in Portland. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Everything. Get everything. The pork belly (Machanka), the cherry dumplings, fish board, salmon roe, borsht, khachapuri, and the baltic sprat buterbrodi all blew our minds.
Skip the lines at Salt And Straw if you are impatient and go here. Barely any lines and all they serve is delicious, authentic, GELATOOOO.
Delicious pastries as a dessert or meal. Get the coffee eclair for a caffeinated dessert
VERY windy up here! But the views are amazing... as long as you don't get blown away!
Beautiful scenery here. For the nature lovers for sure and be sure to stop by the plenty of waterfalls!
"Portland’s official nickname, as of 2003, is “The City of Roses” which is much better then their previous nickname “Thorny Bush Township”" - Conan O'Brien
Artful, tons of culture, and plenty of unique eateries and shops to enjoy, it truly does define the meaning of "Keep Portland Weird".
Beautiful falls that are easily visible from the lot. If you're venturous, go to the top by following the trail!
If you don't want to go through the crowds at Multnomah, visit here instead. Less crowds, closer to the water, and it's on the way!
The view point literally includes stepping into the base of the fall itself.
Excellent coffee here in this casual neighborhood. But the cashier was a bit stuck up... Don't expect stellar service here.
The park first opened in 1871 & was first known as City Park. John C. Olmsted gave the park its current name in 1909. It is also the site of Portland's first zoo.
The garden opened in 2000. Most of the plants featured in the garden are indigenous to China, but no plants were brought from China due to import bans. Some plants in the garden are 100 years old.
This is the "it" coffee roaster in America right now. The cafe and baristas are top notch! Their espresso is to die for! Not a fan of their brewed coffee. Roast is too light. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
At 29, Gabriel Rucker is a Portland original whose ideas have crackled into something electric. Read more.
