Restaurants
Bombay
Cricket Club.
Not just another excellent Indian restaurant, the Cricket
Club also adds a Muslim-inspired middle eastern element to the usual fare.
A
mile west of the main Hawthorne scene.
Jake's
Famous Crawfish.
Portland's landmark restaurant for over a hundred
years. A staggering choice of fresh fish, including Columbia River Sturgeon,
Depot Bay Dungeness Crab, and spicy crawfish cakes. The innocuous-sounding
"Bag of Chocolate" is an infamously delicious, gut-busting dessert.
Wildwood.
Trendy Northwest Portland restaurant with a warm interior, friendly staff
and imaginative food Fresh local ingredients rule.
Attractions & Activities
East
Of the River.
The splashy exhibits of the Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry, are primarily geared toward children, with hundreds of
interactive booths, toys and kiosks aimed at those with only a sketchy knowledge
of science. The Hawthorne District is Portland's best alternative
culture zone, with Hawthorne Boulevard as its axis between 34th and 45th
streets.
Old
Town and Chinatown.
The ornamental gate at Fourth Avenue marks Chinatown, once the second-largest Chinese community in the US until in the 1880s.
This stretch is the city's nexus for nightlife. Other notable sights include the
American Advertising Museum, giving a fascinating account of the rise of
advertising, from posters to tapes of old radio and TV ads, and the Classical
Chinese Garden.
Night Life
Compared to many US cities, where you need money and attitude in equal
measure, Portland's nightlife scene demands little of either. Party in
Portland on any budget.
