Perhaps one of my favorite stores in America. Great little shop of wonderfully curated lifestyle odds and ends--https://canoeonline.net. Perfect for gifts.
Inside the Nines Hotel, beautiful space, American fare (worth having a drink there)
Nostrana's sister restaurant. Great neopolitan pizza. The kale salad is killer as are the arancini risotto balls.
The famous Japanese camping equipment brand has opened its first N. American store in Portland. Known for their titanium gear, the stuff is as utilitarian as it is beautiful.
Beautiful, handcrafted leather goods and accessories from Portland. Great menswear and brands: Tellison, 3sixteen, Bedouin, Hillside, Norse Projects
One of my favorite shops in Portland. High end, men and women's boutique - Band of Outsiders, APC, Apolis, Head Porter, Saturdays, Alexander Wang. http://machusonline.com
Known for "street" Thai food, you won't find Pad Thai on the menu here. Owner and chef, Andy Ricker won the James Beard award in 2011. Definitely get the Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings.
I fell in love with it early on in my career, right when I was about to start making it on a bigger level. I had a weird feeling in my heart about how special it was. - Gary Vaynerchuk
