Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
This is easily my #1 restaurant in Portland to recommend. A true Portland classic in ambiance, cuisine and scene. I've loved it since I moved here in '96. Cajun cuisine and the Mac & Cheese that made Portland famous for Mac & Cheese. Pro tip: get your leftovers wrapped to go ;)

A treat for tourists and locals alike! I highly recommend this 3 mile loop for an urban hike, jog or bicycle ride. Great views of downtown. From the Steel Bridge to the Hawthorne Bridge you can make a loop from east side to west side on the downtown banks of the Willamette River.

Portland has the largest forested park within city limits in the USA! You can run/walk on a trail for over 30 miles and still remain within the city limits. We are so lucky to have this available within our city. Most trail heads are accessible by bus. I used to work for Forest Park Conservancy so I can hook you up with great run/hike trail loops within the park.
