Schedule as many meals as you can — the food scene is not to be missed

Gonna start with the rain on Sat. Supposed to rain for a week. Where in Ptown are ya headed, cause level of personal security depends on where you are.

Pips donuts (not voodoo) Eem - Thai restaurant Red Suace Pizza Mothers- brunch is incredible Woodlawn Coffee Posies Expatriate Gabbianos Ox (Best streak ever. You will not regret this, unless you’re vegan) Hale Pele (Tiki bar. It’s a gem. Get there right when they open though) Powell’s books Mississippi Ave has gift shops, bars, and restaurants. Bakers Mark Taste Tickler (delicious sandwich place) XLB Mekha Grill (better than luc lac because it’s authentic pho and not hipster) Gravy (go early)

Go to Oregon City. Beautiful views of a historic place. Great restaurants up and down Main Street.

Suggest layers. Weather is temperamental. Rain gear too.

Layers. Check the weather, several times a day. There is everything: down town, small town, rivers, mountains, farm land, wineries, breweries, Powell's Books, amazing small book stores, ...

Do.👏🏼 NOT. 👏🏼 Go. 👏🏼 To. 👏🏼 Voodoo. 👏🏼 Donuts.

—Powell’s Books —Food: Eem, Little T Baker, Phuket, Padee, Magna Kusina, Grana Pizza, Lovely’s Fifty-Fifty, Pips, Toya Ramen, Memoire Cafe, Coava Coffee, ABBA Coffee (and matcha), Matt’s BBQ Tacos (the NE Alberta location has solid waffle fries, too), and Kann and/or Langbaan (if you can snag a cancelled res) —Pioneer Square: holiday tree for a quick picture —Japanese Garden —Walk along NW 23rd (boutiques, coffee shops, bars) Enjoy Portland!

It'll be cold and probably rainy. If you're able to check out McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale. Also Guero has the best tortas.

Only tourists go to Voodoo Donuts. I’ll save you the hour long wait in line: It’s an overly sweet donut with stale fruit loops on it. Tadaa.
