New years food favorites in Portland
New years food favorites:
Cherry Naan at India House: PhilG calls it Indian Pop Tart. Unleavened bread with nuts and cherries. Basically naan with dried cherries and ground nuts in the middle. Sweet w/out being cloying. Goes great with the rest of the indian menu believe it or not.
Spella Caffe: After endless raves on the interwebs for their cart at 10th and Alder, they’ve opened a teensy euro-esque coffee shop at 520 SW 5th at SW Alder (near the downtown Ross- blink and you’ll miss it). Oh it’s worth it. Smooth and velvety 12oz latte for $3.50. They also offer gelato, house roasted coffee beans for $14/lb, and some pastries.
( Open Monday-Friday, 7:30am-5pm 503.752.0264 )
List of Portland things I need to do…
I have this great idea of compiling a list of things I need to see/do/visit in wonderful Portland Oregon. Even though I’ve lived here 8 years I still feel like a tourist. So here’s round 1:
- Velveteria – here’s a good reason to not procrastinate. Velveteria is shutting it’s doors January 24 2010. Velveteria is a museaum of fine black velvet paintings. They even offered black velvet painting classes for a while.
- Stark’s Vacuum Cleaner Museum
- Portland City Grill Happy Hour – Way up at the tippy top of the 30 floor Big Pink building downtown. I guess you go for the view. Here’s their page: Portland City Grill
– Hrm maybe it’s just a rumour from a bygone era since there’s no mention on Stark’s Vacuum Cleaner site. I believe it’s at their main store on Grand Ave.
