How our Bliss Filters work
“Portland keeps getting better. The city’s already incredible food scene has some notable new players, including a recently opened food hall, the Pine Street Market, and the first U.S. branch of the celebrated Japanese ramen chain Afuri. ... The city has a new light-rail that whisks visitors across the eye-catching bridge Tilikum Crossing and into destination neighborhoods like Sellwood-Moreland.”
“The rare-books section at Powell's — the largest bookstore in America — is worth the pilgrimage for these extraordinary selections.”
“Holdfast Dining: Enjoy your smoky sturgeon with crisp sunchokes, black olive and green sorrell cream. Sea-foraging chefs Will Preisch and Joel Stocks present refined culinary experiments in a casual popup setting. Intimate dinners take place in a small commissary kitchen.”
“I can' t think of a more inspiring destination to begin a Portland adventure than Mt. Tabor Park. Hike or bike to the summit for a stunning view of the city. For lunch, don't miss Costello's Travel Caffé on Northeast Broadway, my go-to neighborhood hangout. It has the best chocolate pie in town. A short walk away, you can sample wines at Great Wine Buys; the staff members always recommend exceptional reds, whites, and sparkling from both near and far.”
