It's an adult McDonalds palace
One of the largest board game stores I've ever seen. Beers served in the playing area in the back. Abundance of Crispin pear ciders.
The staff is super friendly, they have the best selection of magic the gathering cards, and board games. Go to the 21+ game night! Free play magic night is awesome too.

First time on a Monday (no cover!) ordered & split the Lamb Shank (huge plate) & paired it w/ Melbec wine. If you want Lamb Shank, head to Andina's! Otherwise, stay for drinks & music.
Go to Jimmy mak's and hear some great jazz while sipping the life saver cocktail.
Best place to spend a contemplative afternoon. Grab some tea (oolong is best) and enjoy the view.
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.
Did you know? China’s 31,000 native plants, some of which can be found nowhere else on Earth, represent nearly 1/8th of the world’s total plant species.
This 1,500-seat Art Deco palace has a marquee that rises above the neighborhood like a beacon. The nonprofit Film Action Oregon runs it, showing independent films and teaching kids to make movies. Read more.
Beautiful old theater with solid independent films. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy. Wine and beer are all good. Plastic cups and no cup holders.
Best damn popcorn- kernels so big you might mistake them for cauliflower. Get some.
Some of the best sushi I've had. Green Dragon is an excellent roll, add albacore. Staff is amazing.
The first certified-sustainable sushi restaurant, the NW location ups the kitchen offerings to include seafood "charcuterie," featuring bites like uni custard and tuna prosciutto. [Eater 38 Member]
Green machine is hands down the best roll
Absolutely amazing food and service! Best sushi restaurant I've ever been to. Definitely try the Green Machine you won't be disappointed!
Portland's "green" ethos is no more obvious than at Bamboo, the world's first certified-sustainable sushi restaurant. The Alaskan black cod is one of the top fish dishes in town. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Eat at sushi bar & order chef's plate!
The Glass Palace! Home of the 98 Portland Winterhawks that won the Memorial Cup. Lets get it again this year!
if you're sitting lower level on the penalty box side at a Hawks game, you can use the bathrooms (no lines!) and concession stand (and vending machine!) that are on the basement level.
Opened in 1952, the coliseum hosted premier sporting and entertainment events in Portland. Elvis Presley performed one of his last concerts here before his death in 1977.

We swooned over the Radicchio with Almond Vinaigrette, the Chicken for Two, and the Chickpea Crepe!
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.
Chef Erik Van Kley serves expertly prepared takes on Parisian bistro favorites like crispy veal sweetbreads, chicken liver mousse, and cassoulet; pastry chef Nora Antene's desserts are tops.

Their burger is great - try it with bacon, fried egg, and cheddar. Nice beer list too.
Portland, where it rains kittens and even the hippies smell like roses.
G&G serves honest pub grub that works in perfect harmony with the carefully curated beer list. Note the daily Twofer, where a shared entree, side & two pints sets you back just $20. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Very limited food menu, but tasty. Perfect for Happy Hour or late night snack. Asada quesadilla was yummy! The Lost & Found and The Ron Burgundy were great!
Oh hey Jeff!!! Is this your bar???
Excellent neighborhood bar that tends to stay less crowded than The Old Gold across the street. Patio is quite large. Just keep your voice down after dark. There's neighbors nearby.
Nothing beats the customer service. Every visit is magical & revolutionary with quality products, helpful staff & impeccable service. Come say hi to Christian, one of the store's friendly concierges!
Use the Apple store app. It's sort of like shoplifting only no one beats you down after you walk out the door...and you still spend the money.
Buy an iPhone and stop having to justify your poor decision to settle for an Android.
Shelly's Vegan Wrap is one of the best tasting, reasonably priced, and healthiest airport food options I've found. Get it at the Oregonian News stand by gate E3 across from the Laurelwood.
Free wifi in the airport. Sweet!
PDX has two security gates. If it's busy at one, the other is usually dead. There's a connecting hallway around back so you can still get to your gate.
