Portland

You could use a break.

Now kick back, and wait for your greens to come to you.

It’s spring in Portland, and everything has changed.

It should be no surprise that coffee shops are fantastic surrogate spaces for those of us who either have no living room, or would much rather be anywhere than on our couch when it comes time to put the nose to the grindstone.

Depending on who you talk to, the craft beer scene in Portland this past year was either a black hole of despair or a glistening ray of hope.

Portland can be a daunting city to date in, especially when the rainy months start up and no one wants to go outside, let alone meet up.

The Portland bar scene is a fickle beast.

It’s hard to think of a more perfect comfort food than a bowl of steaming hot ramen.

One can only dream this winter is as mild as the two seasons that came before it.

Another year, another fresh set of restaurant openings and closures.

Whether it’s the simple pleasure of a peanut butter and jelly, a towering, multilayered monstrosity of meats and cheeses, or a bacon, egg, and cheese, a sandwich is a hard thing to beat for literally any meal of the day.

Portland is known for its inordinate number of strip clubs, cafes, and independent bookstores.
