Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
This is some of the best Peruvian food that I've ever had, and it's something you can't find anywhere else in Portland. It's one of the most popular restaurants in Portland, so I'd plan on making reservations at least two or more weeks in advance. This place can get expensive, expect to pay at least $50 per person.

Literally right in my backyard. This is my favorite lunch place, because of the selection of food, the great staff, and how close it is to my place. My personal favorites are the fish tacos, chicken sandwich, or any of the pizza.

Parks & Nature
This is right in my backyard, and the best part about it is that it's free! Come in the spring and early summer time, and you will see all sorts of roses. They call Portland Rose City for a reason.
