Great for dining in or swinging by and picking up take-out. Thai fried chicken. We always get #5 Hat Yai Combo and see what seasonal veggie special they're offering.

It's a very well known ice cream shop. Lines are typically long but move fast. They have some "different" flavors that change based on a monthly theme. They'll let you try them all!

Consigli per viaggiatori
Muoversi in zona
Bus, Bike, Lyft
Having a car is great for getting out of town and to various neighborhoods but parking is often difficult. The #8 bus (trimet.org) takes you all the way downtown. Lyft is a great option. Electronic scooters are around but legally require a helmet and you can't ride on the sidewalk and there are potholes in many streets. Biketown are bikes that are rentable by the trip. Getting the app for any of those options before you set out is recommended.

Reservations
If the restaurant you're interested in takes reservations, it does not hurt to make them. Many Portland restaurants don't take reservations and lines and waits can be significant, plan accordingly.

Breweries
We've found many of the breweries to be the most kid friendly places. Those and cart pods. If you happen to be here with kids and need a few recommendations, we'd be happy to help.

Gas
Oregon still doesn't allow you to pump your own gas. No, you don't have to tip.
