Hey NW z guys. I'm an east-coaster, but I'll be out in Portland next week monday-friday. Can anyone point more towards cool places to hang out, eat, must-see? And if anyone wants to hang out, i'd definatly be up for that too, would love to meet some west-coast Z guys. I will be 350-less however, flying out, and i rented an SUV. Time to see how the other half lives! (The half thats nots sitting 5 inches from the ground).

 

For food, try getting a reservation at the Portland City Grill. It is up high on the 30th floor and offers a spectacular view...

For a nice hike, head out to Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge...great scenery and a nice hike.

The Pacific Ocean is only a 60-90 minute drive from PDX, if you have never been then I would definitely recommend Cannon Beach for all of its little shops and such...

 

If you go to Cannon Beach grab a bottle of Chateauneuf du pape red wine from the wine store and stop at Astoria, Workers Tavern for a Yukka and the tower for a pic or two...

 

Sweet, thanks a lot! I think I will definatly check out the pacific ocean ...

 

portland is booby bar capital of the world (per capita) if you want me to give ya a personal tour of my favorites, let me know, hahaha. titty bar tuesdays are back!!!
oh ya. there is a bunch of other stuff to do too like mentioned above. "the grill" is fun. just depends on what your looking for to do.

 

LOL, Scott is taking you down McGlaughlin!!! Here I was trying to be all high class but the truth about Portland comes out

 

heck no!! i will not put someone through that. mcloughlin is not the place for the ladies, keith. you might need to come out with us too then!!!
i went down to "the grill" a couple weekends ago. wore a nice shirt even. like shooting fish in a barrel, hahhaa.
so i am expecting you to be able tro break away next tuesday also?

 

I think the old lady would shoot me

 

Keith is kind of a weenie. Its hard for him to get out with the boys for too long.

 

Lol

 

If you are going to go to the Portland City Grill, (Which I highly recommend also) make sure and plan to walk through The Pearl District. It's only a short walk from The Grill. There you will find many, many nice shops & more very nice resturants.

Also, what part of town are you staying in? If I knew this, I could give you some more guidance. I live in the Pearl so maybe we can plan on hooking up one night. Oh Hell!!!...If you know you want to go to The Grill, let me know. I will meet you there.
