Things To Do
Gabbiano's
Delicious family-style Italian food. Birthday favorite for both August and Bre!
¿Por Qué No?
Super good taco spot with excellent vibes. There are two, the one on Hawthorne is probably closer to you!
Horse Brass Pub
Classic Portland. Fabulous fish-n-chips!
Big's Chicken
Go get yourself a Big Dirty.
PDX Sliders Division St
Scrumptious little burgers.
Janken
Just in case you want to drop a significant amount of money on some SERIOUSLY good food.
Screen Door Eastside
Famous chicken n' waffles, great Southern brunch!
Sizzle Pie
New York style pizza by the slice with a hefty dash of heavy metal. Great choice if you're thirsting for some eau de Portland.
Shake Shack West End Portland
Low-key fast food vibes with really good food!
Doe Donuts + Ice Cream
Best donuts. You could check out Voodoo, but honestly, Doe is better. And cooler. And more interesting. If you go, try out the Portland Fog!
Portland Japanese Garden
Really gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit. There's also a spectacular (and free) rose garden right across the street!
Oregon Zoo
We have a pretty nice zoo. We always love to hear the "keeper talks" and learn about how the animals are cared for and some of their backstories.
OMSI
Definitely more kid-oriented, which is either awesome or a little overstimulating/underwhelming, depending on your age.
Hopscotch Portland
This is hard to explain...there's a giant ball pit and a lot of other large-scale interactive art installations.
Portland Art Museum
Lots to look at and appreciate in our art museum, probably more than you could fit in a single visit.
