Food Scene

A quick walk from the apartment, Ken's is a local bakery that has freshly-baked menu items. Their croissants are always a hit. Anything that you order will be delicious, though. One of their bakery items is listed here as a must-try: https://pdx.eater.com/2022/2/16/22936357/illustrated-guide-portland-pastries They also have a pizza night every Monday evening! :)

Great place to walk to to grab a margarita and some healthy Mexican fare. I would recommend getting the guacamole and tortillas (freshly made onsite). It's not authentic Mexican food, but it is tasty.

Tucked behind this Northwest Portland bar, known for its karaoke and Monday taco night, lies one of the city’s most underrated bar patios: an expansive and lush winding deck with various levels supports picnic tables and standing bars, with Japanese maples and a pond at the center. A seasonal patio bar slings vodka-spiked strawberry lemonade and pints of Portland-brewed beers, while neighborhood regulars snack on spinach artichoke dip during happy hour.

This Woodstock mainstay almost always has a line wrapping around the building outside, and for good reason: Flavors are crafted with regional ingredients in mind, as well as partnerships with local businesses. The Oregon strawberry ice cream is made with Willamette Valley Fruit Company, and the Earl Grey blueberry is a partnership with the Jasmine Pearl Tea Company. Plus: There's a flavor inspired by every horoscope each month.

A nice place for a leisurely walk outdoors or a short jog. I enjoy picking a spot to have a picnic on a sunny day or a quiet reading spot.

The Wildwood Trail is over 30 miles of meandering, breathtaking goodness, just try not to get spooked when you stumble upon the ominous stone house. Forest Park is also home to the largest urban forest in the United States.

Arts & Culture

It's about a ~17 minute walk, or a ~10 minute bike ride to get here. It's a great place for a rainy day or when you're in need of some culture. Be sure to check out the list of their rotating exhibits. The area around the museum can be dicey, so it's best to stick to daytime hours before it gets dark.

A yoga sanctuary across the street. They have free mats, so you don't need a yoga mat for their classes. Light comes through the stained-glass windows and they have phenomenal teachers.
