Late night drinks and hip crowd. On a nice night, the street side tables are a delight. Sometimes there is live music and it's usually worthwhile.

Getting Around
I highly recommend the TriMet Trip Planner. I also recommend getting the Hop Fastpass app for your smart phone
An all-day adult pass is $5, a 2-hour pass is $2.50. You can pay cash on the bus, but they don’t make change. The bus accepts dollar bills.
The #14 bus runs from our house to downtown. Ride the #14 bus to SE 32nd Place (Stop ID 2617). Don't worry if you don't get off exactly there, just hop off at the next one on SE 34th. The 14 runs from downtown to I205 and the Green Line Max on the east side.
