Really nice in Autumn when the leaves turn but great for picnics when it's warm as well.

The 280 steps on the park's northeast side make up the longest public staircase in the city. Time your ascent from the base to the drinking fountain at the top!
It's a market, not a tourist attraction. Don't just look, buy some tasty food!
Honey lavender. Pear with blue cheese. Strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper. Say hello to the "Voodoo Doughnuts of ice cream" in Portland. Absolutely divine!
We got both the fennel & mushroom to split between three and it was perfect. We each got four slices. Each pizza was AMAZING. The salted caramel ice cream is a must and the sorbet was very good also
Great fast casual Indian. All the best stuff I had was from the specials list (kale pakora, sweet potato chaat, watermelon masala gin, etc) Lamb samosas were great. Skip the curry chicken.
Burgers are small. If you're on a diet it's good otherwise expect to buy multiple burgers. They are fantastic burgers though. The fries, cheeseburger, and soda cost me $9.
Wurst has excellent hot dogs and french fries. One fry order can probably comfortably feed two people. Try The Portland hot dog! So good!
Located inside of Pine Street Market. Best to keep things simple and go with Vanilla Custard, Chocolate Dipped in a Waffle Cone.
WW Cheap Eats 2011 favorites: Bánh mì ($2.25 each), sardines in tomato sauce, Vietnamese meatballs, headcheese, pâté and the vegetarian combo.
if you go to Barista (@baristapdx on twitter) i guarantee you will have the best cup of coffee you've ever had. or i'll eat my shorts
Is there really anything bad here? I don't think so. Get here before 9 am or fight the line.
The best new brunch spot in Portland also has a lot of its regular menu items on Happy Hour for a fraction of the price from 2:30-5pm. Go early, there’s only a single communal table for seating. Baca selengkapnya.
Tacos, Tacos, Tacos. You can't go wrong with any of the taco options on the menu, but the seafood ones are probably the best decision, especially the calamari taco.
Can't say enough good things about Nong's. Super simple and super delicious. Everyone is incredibly nice and the chicken is amazing. The rice is incredible and the chicken skin mixed in is living.
Nostrana is a vision for the times: a local legend (former Genoa co-owner Cathy Whims) cooking the food she loves; sophistication without the intimidation... Baca selengkapnya.
Opened in 1917, the garden houses over 7,000 rose plants of approx. 550 varieties. It's the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden & exemplifies Portland's nickname 'The City of Roses'.
Sort of hidden away but the basement bar is solid. Drinks are strong, cheap and the noodle bowls kill!
Try the double chocolate cookies with the caramel and salted dark chocolate ice cream...so good!
Most beautiful, fun, tasty place for low-, non-fat yogurt I have ever visited. Any pear flavors are absolutely tasty and refreshing!
Chicken and waffles is a spiritual investment as well as a physical one. Give yourself a few hours to calm down after ordering. May require sweat pants.
A classic example of Portland's coffee obsession, Ristretto's beans are hand roasted (hands put them on the fire… Johnny Blaze isn't palm-roasting them) to perfection. Baca selengkapnya.

Everything is good. Awesome New York style pizza with Portland style toppings. Good eats.
The $5.00 Super Burrito is so large that it's best to get a doggie bag when you order. Or try the carne asada burrito for just $4.50. The rest of the menu starts at $2 and up, and it’s very authentic. Baca selengkapnya.
Just like it sounds, waffles from a window. Try the Three B's (bacon, Brie and basil) dish at only $4.00, which features Brie slabs around three-quarters of an inch thick. Baca selengkapnya.
This is my favorite Portland restaurant. I highly recommend the raw live nachos, the walnut lentil burger, the tacos plate, and the fig and Brie sandwich! The food here has gorgeously complex flavors.
A lot of food (one meal = 2). Great vegetarian options. Nice atmosphere. Just wish we didn't get the seats near the restrooms. Will come back to try the cocktails!
Get the Aebleskiver (Danish pancakes) and you will never want another taste in your mouth again. Pro tip: The half order isn't on the menu and comes with 4.
Get there earlyish and grab an Oregon Croissant while they're warm. It's better than a croissant should be allowed to be.
Pairs expertly mixed cocktails with an Asian-inflicted take on drinking food. This may be the only place where crab rangoon can sit alongside James Beard's onion-and-butter sandwich. [Eater 38 Member]
It's a splurge, but each prix-fixe seating is like a dinner party gone carnivorously crazy. Get the charcuterie plates, and braised duck or beef cheeks if they're available. [Eater 38 Member] Baca selengkapnya.
Podnah’s hits the lowest common denominator of what makes food satisfying: salt, sweetness, fat, and Rodney Muirhead’s sauce has the perfect acidity. The brisket is perfectly smoked. [Eater 38 Member] Baca selengkapnya.
Just a couple varieties of savor-each-last-drop broth are available each day, but whether it's the crab flake or ground pork, these soups will have you slurping up every last bite. [Eater 38 Member] Baca selengkapnya.
Love to hike in the gorge. Today we are starting at Wahkeena falls trails then up last fairy falls then hanging a right and coming down at Multnomah falls
A beautiful waterfall, a quick walk from Multnomah falls! The walk to the viewing bridge to Wahkeena is quick as well and it's very peaceful once you're on top
When leaving, don't just get back on the freeway. Head West on the old highway for more falls and some great pictures of the Vista House and surrounding hills.
One of the best hikes you'll ever do. Climb the logs and wade through the chest-deep (and cold!) water. Totally worth it.
The trail is a 2.3 mile loop, totally doable under an hour. Cool scenery with volcanic rocks and fissures.
Go here! Beautiful BLUE views everywhere. So deep, so clear, great hikes - you can do several in a day. RECOMMEND
