We chose to get married here because we love this part of town. Start at The Grand Stark Hotel and walk in any direction. So many great little shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants between Burnside and Hawthorne. It's hard to go wrong!
Explore Syd's first neighborhood in Portland, where we spent the early days of our relationship during the depths of the COVID lockdowns. Grab a coffee, take a long walk, and enjoy some takeout from one of the many local spots.
Visit the place where Al and Syd's relationship began. It's the one restaurant we make a point to visit every time we're in Portland - and, in our opinion, the perfect restaurant.
