Food Scene

A longer walk, but under 20 minutes. Great neighborhood Italian restaurant. Sit at the small bar with all the locals or grab a table.

Go here your first day because you will want to go back again! Julie's favorite: Bacon Egg Bolo on a Croissant - ask for the tomato relish, too. Divine. Bob's favorite: Cinnamon roll, and if you go first thing in the morning they are still warm! Also, great sandwiches, pastries. Decent coffee. Some indoor seating. Can get really busy on weekends, so go early. Lots of nice picnic tables outside on sunny warm days. A nice morning walk - about 15 minutes or so from the house.

Walkable. We like to go here and sit at the very cool neighborhood bar. The food is good - not super "foodie" worthy -- but nice neighborhood casual atmosphere. Cute place.

Oh my. What to say about this gem. If you love dessert this is an absolute - do not miss --.... you can even pop in to get takeout dessert if you don't want to dine in. It's also a very good restaurant. Gorgeous patio for sunny day leisurely lunches. I prefer lunch over dinner. They also do a nice brunch on the weekends. Walkable.

Walkable. We love our coffee shops in Portland. This one has a larger interior than Rose City. A newer coffee shop that we immediately liked!

Sometimes you must order pizza to be delivered. We like Bridge City Pizza. Pizza is a trick thing -- everyone has different standards. If you are going OUT to pizza - head to Ken's Artisan Pizza - wood fired.

A grocery store and so much more. Great selection of wine, take out food, foodie food(great cheese selection), essentials. But it's on the higher end. If you want normal "groceries" go to QFC. Oh - next door to New Seasons is a great grouping of food cards and they are amazing! Highly recommended.

Drinks & Nightlife

Not sure how to describe this place. GREAT for a glass of wine and snacks. If you like wine and a cute atmosphere check it out. We love it. If you walk the 15 minutes to get there you don't have to worry about driving home!
