Just a block from Portland's number 1 tourist destination, Powell's Books, Deschutes Brewery is a fun spot to unwind. Try the Elk Burger for something interesting, or any number of craft beers.

Not just any bakery. Ken's is one of the best French bakeries in the Pacific NorthWest. That is verifiably true, because Ken has been designated a "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" a special title that is difficult even for French bakeries to obtain. And it's only 3.2 miles from my front door!

Salt & Straw has garnered international attention since it was founded in Portland a few years ago. Lines sometimes extend around the block and can take 45 minutes or more, but it just might be the best and/or most unusual ice cream you've ever tried. 3.4 miles from my house, a quick little jaunt into the lovely NW Shopping District.

The symphony plays here, and all the best, most iconic groups perform here, too, unless they're too large and have to be at the Rose Quarter. 3.4 miles from my home.

Getting Around

Technically it's Washington Park, but everyone calls it the Zoo's MAX stop. It's almost exactly one mile from my house, and there's a cool shortcut through the woods to get there. On nice days, it really can't be beat.

Essentials

Freddies has just about everything you'll need except clothing. There's a Fred Meyer in Beaverton that has that, however.

Target is a great store, just of the MAX line, smack in the middle of downtown, less than 4 miles from the house.

When it was built in the 1960's it was one of the first such shopping malls in the country. Lloyd Center practically invented the concept of shopping malls, and it has grown and matured over the years. You can find just about anything imaginable here, all within seven miles of my house.

Parks & Nature

More than just a park, the Arboretum is Portland's living library of trees, an amazing resource of international importance. In addition to hosing at my home, I'm an Airbnb Experience host for the Arboretum, and can show you some of the most amazing and memorable trees you'll ever see! All within a half mile walk from my home!

Recognized as one of the most beautiful Japanese Gardens outside of Japan itself, Portland's Japanese Garden in a stunning example of artistry in nature. The one downside is that it is expensive for a park. Almost all other parks in Portland are free...this one costs around $15; but it is truly beautiful. Within about 2 miles from my home.

This beautiful walk along the riverfront is always enjoyable, on foot or on one of Portland's inexpensive rental bikes. A really fun ride is to take the bike paths on both sides of the river; there are excellent bike trails and you can easily cover the downtown core area river paths in about an hour or two. A great way to spend a sunny afternoon!

Just over 34 miles from my home, you can easily drive there in under an hour. But I'll advise you to take a longer, more scenic route via the Columbia River Highway, another iconic local sight to see, and enjoy several beautiful waterfalls, and numerous other day hikes through the Columbia River Gorge, one of the most beautiful natural areas in the world.

Drinks & Nightlife

Unique to Portland, the Kennedy School is one of my favorite places in town. It is completely original in concept. Who would have thought to make a bar/movie theater/restaurant/brewery/multi-use complex out of a former grade school? Only in Portland will you find such an original and beautifully executed concept. This is a must-see spot.
