Things To Do

Downtown Portland

Downtown Portland is full of great shops, architecture, and a working waterfront. Walking Commercial St, Exchange St, and the surrounding streets allows one to get a true feel of the city that Travis and Danielle have called home for 3+ years. Check out the Eastern Promenade which hosts a variety of food trucks daily!

Places to Eat

Dinner: Taj (Danielle and Travis' go to take-out restaurant), Bao Bao (Best dumplings), Leeward (consider making a reservation ahead of time), Green Elephant (vegetarian/vegan) Lunch/Dinner: Honeypaw (Favorite dinner date location), Flatbread Pizza Lunch: Cheese Louise (For the grill cheese lovers), High Roller Lobster Co (delicious and creative lobster rolls) Breakfast: Hot Suppa (Great breakfast, get there early), Bayside American Grill (recommend cinnamon roll pancake- arrive early), Tandem (Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries- pre-order online to beat the line!), Dutch's (Best hashbrowns), Becky's (For the diner inclined) Donuts: Yes, it deserves its own category! Portland donut tour includes Eighty Eight Donuts, Hifi Donuts, and Holy Donut

Beer

Portland is home to an abundance of incredible breweries, much to Danielle's distaste. Some of Travis' favorites include: Austin Street, Goodfire, Foulmouthed (gluten free!), and Bissell Brothers (right next to our venue- grab a beer before our ceremony!)
