Things To Do

North Mississippi Avenue

The street/neighborhood Jackson lived on when we first met. This street has tons of great restaurants, bars, and shops to check out. A few of our favorite places are Prost!, The Rambler, Bar, Bar, Uchu, and Stormbreaker Brewing.

Forest Park

Beautiful forest full of hiking trails next to downtown Portland! If you want to enjoy some nature and don't want to travel too far, this is a perfect fit. We recommend checking out the Hoyt Arboretum-Red Wood Deck, Pittock Mansion, Witch's Castle, Japanese Garden (if you don't mind spending some money), and the Rose Garden. We had our third date on one of these hikes :)

NW Portland: 21st and 23rd Ave]

Neighborhood where Natalie spent most of her early Portland days hanging out. These streets have tons of shops, restaurants, and bars to enjoy. A few of Natalie's favorites are Thai Bloom!, Salt & Straw, Boxer Ramen, Matador, Besaws, Breakside Brewery, Serratto, Twenty First Ave Bar, North 45 Pub, Blue Moon Tavern, and Afuri.

CARTOPIA FOOD CARTS

Classic Portland food cart pod! Lots of great food and drink options. Natalie's favorite is Chicken and Guns.
