If you're really bored, you can come by and make me lunch.

People watching at Pioneer is always enjoyable.

Ride the tram?

Head over to the Couv for a flick at Cinetopia. Put your feet up, drink some wine, order some gourmet food, enjoy a movie...

I definately reccomend checking out the food carts. And the east side is where the good ones are..... Check out Over the Top. It is in a little food cart pod on 50th and division. They make wild game burgers. The Elk and Wild Boar burgers are to die for. Also, there is a new collection of carts on 32nd and Division with some good stuff, and a newly opened beer cart. Awesome.

any good coffee houses to veg out and read books all day?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think I'm going to reconnect with the Portland of my youth. Hit up the Oregon Historical museum and art museum. Hand in the Library, etc. Hope the weather doesn't suck too badly.

Jim and Patty's on NE Fremont and about 50th is kick ass!

There is one called "Chance of Rain" on 32nd or so and Hawthorne. The store front is on the side street. You might check that out if your in SE.

Hell yea, it's awesome! No cover charge and pitchers of beer makes for a goood time. Nothing like watching the game on a theater screen. And sometimes the fans get rowdy, which is always fun.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Nice might try to check it then

Powells!

Powells!

Try the Powells over on Hawthorne. Way less people/traffic and you have a lot of cool shops within 5 blocks in both directions.
