Portland Top 12
Hello guests - here is a collection of our favorite activities and places to indulge in Portland's richness and carefree vibe. There are limitless bars, restaurants and breweries which we have not included here but yelp is your friend in that regard :) This is more of an activity list. We've added a couple walkable food and drink options in that list. Enjoy!
Probably the most fun, unique and carefree experiences you can have just outside of Portland. This old "poor farm" was converted into a hotel, multiple restaurants and bars, a winery, brewery, 3 par golf course and gardens. Acres of free range drinks :) There's even a $3 movie theater. Wonderful on it's own or on your way back from Multnomah Falls or the Gorge :) 15 miles NE.

Every First Thursday from 5-9pm galleries in the Pearl District (NW Portland) are open to the public- often serving wine and snacks. A long stretch of 13th Ave is also an open street fair of sorts. Opportunity for beautiful (and sometimes bizarre) local art. A classier version of Saturday market :)
