Great brewery-style restaurant. Food is much better than you would expect from a brewery. Great burger, interesting beers...sample a few. Also they do a damn good brunch!

I really like this "neo italian" restaurant. Wood-fired oven, locally sourced food, and great bar. The vibe is a little boomer meets young bougie parents (i.e. kids menu), but don't let it spoil it 4u

The most interesting breakfast food you'll ever have. This is not traditional AM food, which is even more reason to go. They don't open til 9am, and its best to get there early to avoid the queue.

One of my favorite restaurants. For Spanish tapas, it really is an incredible menu, and they are sincere about sourcing their food. No rezzies, so go early or go late, and don't bother going on a wknd

It's a tiny lunch-counter style SE Asian spot. Pok Pok is star-status Thai food. So you get smaller portions and pay more, but it's not like anything you would get at a typical Thai restaurant.

Everything Else
A new bike rental shop now on the edge of NE Portland off of MLK blvd! Still Yay! They rent commuter and road bikes. He fixes old bikes, so you can ride a vintage Peugot if you prefer.

Sweet little minimalist tea house. They do matcha, and tea lattes, and even that bubble tea shit, but I just like that it's a cool vibe, and there is absolutely zero coffee on site!
