With yet another weather event upon us (today it’s a blizzard, last week an ice storm), I am yet again dreaming of escape. So an email from my sister’s in-laws in Portland, Oregon with travel suggestions for our trip there in March was very welcome.
She recommends:
In Portland:
Hotel deLuxe (more than Lucia or Ace);
Restaurants in North east Portland: – Tabla Bistro (serves “natural wines”); Spints Alehouse (full disclosure – new place opened by my sister’s relatives.)
other Portland restaurants: Clyde Common, Giorgios,
Neighborhoods to explore: Hawthorne Street – more restaurants there – Castagna (gourmet) and Cafe Castagna; Fleur-de-Sel;
To see: rose gardens
In Newport (on the coast): Saffron Salmon restaurant! Stroll along main street to see everything from art galleries to fish being gutted. Aquarium – must visit, and for a great view of coast north of Newport: stop off the road is Cape Foul Weather. Love it!
