Native American owned and themed. A little different than the typical Portland hipster coffee scene. A local gem. Incredible baked goods, both savory and sweet. Solid beverages. Nice place to hang out or get some work done.

Tapas style / Street Food Indian restaurant. Very different fare from your average American Indian restaurant. The Pork Vindaloo is amazing, the fried cauliflower is like candy. The paneer kafti rolls are a flavor rush. Share a few dishes, soak in the fun atmosphere, and if you want, you can stand in line for ice cream next door at Salt n Straw afterwards. Great for lunch or dinner, come early (5 pm) or late (after 8) to avoid the rush.

Did you get into town kinda late, and need a place for a bite to eat, maybe a drink? The Kennedy School has you covered. We like to hang in the Cypress Room, get a burger with cajun tots and a beer. They're open til midnight. The place has 6 bars, a movie theater, a soaking pool, and well, it's in an old elementary school. It's also a fun hotel to stay at if you have a bigger budget.

Street Market = Food Cart? This place is the best! A little bit up the street from most of the hustle and bustle of Division Street but well worth it. Holy moly it's good. Get the BiBimBox with your choice of protein (and yes they have tofu for the vegetarians!) Covered seating area.

Yes, the Columbia River Gorge waterfalls really are that close, they really are that spectacular, and you really should check it out if you have any interest at all! Take the historic highway, make this your first stop, check out the amazing view, then head inside and talk to the sweet volunteers and get a free waterfall map. The building is amazing and worth wandering around in. The gift shop in the basement is one of the better I've been to, and the coffee shop down there is a sweet treat for a warm up on your drive. Pro tip- take the historic highway out to the gorge and when you're done zip back on 84.

1980's decor including teal and pink neon, teal wrap around booths, and a nice relaxed divey feel. This is a place where neighborhood old fogies and hipsters alike show up for karaoke, blues music and the occasional dance party. A real neighborhoody spot.

Want a place to go at night that isn't centered around alcohol, and is well, I guess quirky would be a good word to describe it? Check out this Portland Institution late night dessert house. This is old school weird Portland before anybody knew how awesome this place was. Just don't tell too many people about it...only your favorite people!

It's an institution. It's huge. It's wonderful. They give you a map when you come in (if you go to the info desk- and I highly recommend it for first timers). And there's a great coffee shop with great people watching.

Entertainment & Activities

There are a number of cannabis dispensaries in our neighborhood. Panacea is our favorite. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. We don't partake very often, but when we do, we like to shop here.

Super beautiful theater that has a whole neighborhood named after it. It's a wonderful nonprofit that brings interesting films (independent, local, old classics, neat documentaries, big name art-house etc) and film festivals to town. They have a great menu of beverages and snacks to choose from. Great for a rainy day or night. In one of Portland's last not-completely-gentrified inner neighborhoods (for now at least).
