All three cities can offer you a wonderful culinary adventure, my plug is for Portland. Stay down town at the Heathman, and have dinner at Higgins in the dinning rooom, you will be only a few doors from your Hotel room. If you wait until May you can walk up the park blocks to the Farmer's Market on a Saturday. For Am treats you can jump on the street car and ride down to the Pearl district and pick up a treat at the Pearl Bakery, you can walk off your pastry in the Pearl and then hunt down Crowsenbergs Half and Half on Oak for a good sandwich. If your looking for Brunch I highly reccomend the Daily Cafe on Sundays. Have Fun
