Good local place for breakfast / brunch. Be sure to look at the specials on the chalkboard. No reservations but put your name on the list for the weekend - there is often not a wait. Don't expect overtly friendly service but it is super reliable!

Neighborhoods

Great walking and/or biking streets to explore in Portland!
A Portland classic - lots of old homes and also a lot of new development and construction. Great walking street with tons of shops, bars, restaurants, food carts, nail salons, and The Rebuilding Supply Center for people who want to look for reclaimed home goods. Awesome street to spend the afternoon and in the summer they have the Mississippi Street Fair which is always crowded and lively.

This is our neighborhood - we love it! Visit Irving Park just up N 7th Avenue and Fremont for a great open park with tennis courts, grass, and an off leash dog park. Walk down N Williams street to find great bars, coffee shops, shopping, nail salons, hair salons, and our local grocery store New Seasons Market. N Williams and N Vancouver (parallel - one street West of Williams) are the two most biked streets in this country!

One of Portland's more diverse neighborhoods and like so many places - a mix of old and new. Excellent shopping, food, coffee, and food carts. Be sure to visit the Grilled Cheese Grill (on a school bus) that of course has gluten free and vegan options; Salt & Straw ice cream (if you don't want to wait in line, go to the front and buy a pint instead of a cone); Proud Mary is our favorite brunch spot; and bike and walk around. Alberta Street hosts "Last Thursday" - a mini burning man arts party hosted on the last Thursday of every month.
