Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
This is my regular coffee spot, just a short walk away. I love this corner because it's quieter than Alberta street or other hot neighborhood spots but it's got everything I need – strong coffee, a cute bottle shop with a nice happy hour, a great brunch at Muscadine, a dispensery if that's your thing, Pok Pok's Noi, and the best burger in town (Grain & Gristle). You'll find all these marked in the guidebook.

Muscadine
Great brunch. Think Southern comfort food.
The famous Pok Pok's lesser-known restaurant. Super small with a limited menu, but offers all of the Pok Pok favorites and you won't wait a whole night to eat there.
