Visiting Portland

MyE92 · 09-03-2013, 10:01 PM

Hi guys,
I'm actually in Portland now until Friday. Can anyone give me suggestions on places I MUST eat, see, and do? I know food trucks are a big deal here also.
I've looked a couple up already, but I'm always looking for suggestions for locals.
I have a rental car, so I getting around isn't really a problem.

Thanks in advance!!

Powell's Books, 10th & Burnside. Largest indy bookstore in the world.

Might want to check out some wineries if you have 1/2 day. OR makes the best Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris wines in the US. But most good ones are too far...

Sorry, I'm up in Seattle and don't know the food scene down there.
You should post on the NW subforum(s), too.

I would say visit Kells Irish Pub, Voodoo donuts (tourist spot), food carts are a given. If you like beer, a few good places are rock bottom and for german beer, visit Prost!

Be sure to hit up Prost! for some amazing German food and beer. You won't be disappointed. It's in NE Portland, off of Mississippi
