Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
Dimillo's is a Portland landmark. It is a floating restaurant, usually on the too-pricey side for us, but with a great happy hour on weekdays from 4-6pm (and Wednesdays it goes til 8p!)

Another Portland favorite. Great vegan/gluten-free options, as well as the best milkshakes in the city. Booths inside, and a nice garden seating area in the summer time. Super fun atmosphere!

Eat breakfast with the fisherman! Super casual diner-style food. They are open for dinner now these days, but really, this is a breakfast place. Opens at 4am!

Cool coffee shop at the top of exchange street. Great for grabbing a quick bite in the middle of down-town shopping! My husband likes this place better than Mornings In Paris, but I like MIP better...

My favorite coffee shop in town, if only for the people watching. Travis prefers Bard Coffee, but I don't know why. MIP makes a Nutella Latte! So good!

Sightseeing
Take a ferry out to one of the islands! They are great ways to explore outside of the city (especially in the summer time!) without needing to rent a car.

Shopping
Great vintage/used clothing store. They have equally as many racks of guys' clothing as they do girls'! So your boy won't be (as) bored when you're out shopping...
