Things To Do

Broder Café

Favorite breakfast spot in Portland. It gets crowded on the weekends.

Casa Italia

Simple good Italian food. Enough said.

Obon Shokudo

Japanese comfort food, lovely spot rest and recharge in the middle of a busy day.

Bellwether Bar

One of our favorite date spots.

Carnelian Coffee

Powell's Books

Plan to spend some time in here

Portland Art Museum

Tomorrow Theater

Great spot for film

Powell Butte Nature Park

Great spot for trails with both forest and meadow, and a lovely view of Mt. Hood.

Portland Japanese Garden

Stunning gardens, pricey but well worth it. Super close to the International Rose Test Garden too.

Hawthorne Blvd

Great area to walk around, browse, thrift, people watch and shop. There is also a mini Powell's here, and a lovely used book and yarn shop called Backstory Books and Yarn that is worth checking out.

Music Millennium

Easy place to spend an hour just relaxing and browsing.

Wyrd Leatherworks and Meadery

Excellent nerd location. Super vibey, feels like being in a Skyrim.
