This is where the locals go for ice cream and donuts when we don't want to stand in line for half an hour at Voodoo or Salt n' Straw. Large selection of ice creams and quality donuts.

Quirky fish and chip shop with a Dr. Who theme. British beers, authentic fish and chips, and it's not uncommon that Dr. Who will be playing on the monitors. A nice stop if you want to surprise a Dr. Who fan in your group. Open late on weekends.

Excellent restaurant overlooking the Columbia. A little more formal looking than a lot of Portland, but not at all pretentious or stuffy.

Excellent restaurant overlooking the Columbia. A little more formal looking than a lot of Portland, but not at all pretentious or stuffy.
A floating restaurant on a dock on the Columbia river. More pub-style food than Salty's which is just up the road. Open air. Brilliant on nice days, maybe not a great choice when the weather isn't at it's best. It's a bit out of the way, so it's not touristy. Not as intimate or quiet (it's close to the airport) as The Island Cafe, but it's far easier to get seated.

Amazing Tiki bar/lounge. If you want to see what Tiki bars were like in the 50s, this is the place. Cozy booths, tropical drinks, karaoke, free leis for everyone!

Only open spring - fall. Quirky open air bar built on to the dock overlooking the water. Long waits for the restaurant portion, but there's no waiting if you just go up to the bar (no kids allowed in this section). A great spot on sunny days. Kids are welcome, but if you have them with you arrive early or be prepared to wait.

Part of the McMennamin's brewery chain, this a converted funeral home and wedding chapel that offers instant atmosphere. Like most brewpubs in Portland, this is a great getaway for adults, yet still family friendly during normal dining hours.

If you like books, this is THE place. Thousands and thousands of selections (new and used, side by side), warehouse sized bookstore with a built in cafe to keep you going. It may also be the place for that unique Portland gift to take home.

Parks & Nature

5,200 acres of forest within the city limits. Seemingly endless trails, lush vegetation. Multiple entry points, and a variety of trails. Adjacent to The Oregon Zoo, The Japanese Garden, and the famous Portland Test Rose Garden. Fantastic when you need to get to the outdoors but don't have time to make it to the Gorge.

A nice hiking trail that follows a stream and passes the "witch's castle". A good hike if you're just getting started or if you have kids with you.

Breathtaking year round. Majestic views and countless hiking trails (check online, some are still recovering from the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire). Even if the weather doesn't encourage a hike, the views from the car are still fantastic - we recommend a loop using both the Washington (Hwy 14) and Oregon (Hwy 84) sides of the river, use either Hood River or The Bridge of the Gods as a turnaround.
