A short 15-20 minute walk up the hill from my home. Council Crest offers a staggering 360 degree view of Portland and on clear days one can see Mt Hood, Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier.

I highly recommend spending some time in the Pearl District. When I moved here 20+ years ago it was all abandoned warehouses, now it's one of the crown jewels of Portland and filled with shops and restaurants.

Hand's On Cafe is within the OR College of Arts & Crafts and it's has a fabulous Sunday brunch that is really only known by a small number of locals. Highly recommend it as it's super special, and the food is incredible!

Funky little taco eatery hole in the wall that won the "Restaurant of the Year" a few years ago. Great food and worth the line but stick to the cerveza instead of their mixed drinks.

Favorite coffee shop on NW 23rd. There is also one on NW 13th in the Pearl. These folks take their coffee very seriously and serve up an excellent cup! Highly recommend it and very local.

This place has been around for decades and the happy hour bar menu is amazing but be sure to get there before 9:30 if you want to get a table. Amazing food, onion rings are the best, their steak bites are famous and Jimmy the bartender has been there for over 33 years. Old school elegance!
