CBD HQ (other locations, like Washington Ave are also great). Really good coffee, great place to spread out with the paper. Serves Holy Donuts, Union Bagels, and 3 Sisters breakfast sandwiches -- all of which are must-tries for the Portland visitor.

The best local place for breakfast or lunch out. Amazing food cooked to order, and baked items that are beyond the imagination. Peruse the beautiful pottery while you wait for your food.

Parks & Nature

Tiny park on North Street in Munjoy Hill. Worth the walk because it has the BEST VIEW of Portland possible. Gorgeous at sunset, merely beautiful at other times.

Drinks & Nightlife

Best known and most beloved craft brewery in East Bayside - but not the only one, so if this is your thing, make it your first but not your last stop. Food trucks out front, yard games in the lot, great beer on tap.

The best bookstore around, not only because of what they carry, but also because the people who work there know their stuff. Don't be afraid to just walk in and ask for a recommendation.

Small but convenient speciality store at the top of Fox Street. Wonderful local business offering wine, beer, and cheese as well as excellent sandwiches, fresh produce, and a handful of grocery items.
