The dream of the ’90s is alive in Portland and so are our dreams of a
great weekend escape.
sleep
It doesnt get any more quirky or more Portland than a night in a
McMenamins hotel property. Their flagship, the Kennedy
School (pictured), will have you sleeping in a converted classroom,
but the
Chrystal Hotel is right downtown.
eat
The fact that its well outside downtown makes St.
Jack that much more charming. It doesnt hurt that they serve French
cuisine, like gratin de macaroni, that would satisfy any gourmand.
shop
The Alphabet District in Northwest Portland is lined with small
boutiques slotted between the likes of Restoration Hardware and Urban
Outfitters. When youve worked up an appetite with all that shopping,
stop into the unassuming Red
Onion, which serves killer Thai food.
stock up
Stroll through the Portland
State University Farmers Market on a Saturday afternoon and youll
find all the organic, local produce youll need for a lunch al fresco
Portland-style. Kelsey Dundon
