Arguably the BEST ice cream in Portland. The flavors are not as wacky as other local parlors, but they're creative and spot on every time. Our family favorites are Butterscotch Whiskey, Carmelized Honey, Blood Orange Creamsicle, Lavender Mint, and Lynn's all-time favorite: Chocolate AF

Plastered with portraits of Richard Nixon, Richard Burton, Dick Van Dyke, and other noteworthy namesakes, Dick’s Kitchen sends Portlanders back in time while pushing a decidedly modern, local, and healthy ethos. The menu focuses on classic diner fare like burgers, sausages, and sandwiches, but with a twist: beef is local and grass-fed; buns, ketchup, mustard, and special sauces are made in-house; fries are not deep-fried but thinly coated in tapioca flour and olive oil and “air-baked” in the oven; sugar and salt are used sparingly; and vegan options abound.

Go to Mt. Tabor Park, climb a volcano, and then discover the Montavilla neighborhood. Along with the independent Academy Theater, great restaurants, indy shops, bakery, and breweries, you'll find the very best pie-by-the slice, community-first coffee shop: Bipartisan Cafe. Daily fruit pie and cream pie pics in a really grungy, funky atmosphere. Lynn's favorites are the strawberry rhubarb and marionberry crumble.

Your Airbnb guest house comes with a growler for you to borrow and fill at will. If beer isn't your vice, try SOMA Kombucha just across Laurelhurst Park on Belmont St. It's easier than easy: Just go to this unmanned station, fill up, pay, and go.

A collection of food vendors with excellent, shared indoor and outdoor seating. Pizza, Argentinian food at Boca Grande, Paydirt whiskey bar, Wares tapas….. It's all excellent but go to BASILISK -- the very best fried chicken you've ever tasted. Lynn recommends the chicken-fried tofu sandwich (as filling and meaty as the chicken version) and the chicken salad with soba noodles. After eating, you can check out Hollywood Vintage next door and Bricks and Minifigs for new and excellent used Lego sets.

"Selamat Makan," reads the sign in the flamboyantly decorated dining room at this Indonesian newcomer, a phrase that translates to "bon appétit." The truth of that statement is self-evident. For the uninitiated, an order of nasi campur or nasi uduk sampler plates is a must. Those ready for the advanced course have plenty of options; a starter of rujak serut should be mandatory. Raw fruits and vegetables are anointed with palm sugar syrup and ground peanuts for an all-compass-point ensemble of sweet, tart, soft and crunchy. It's one of the standout local dishes of the year.

Also enjoy beautiful views of the city and access to a walk across the Tilikum Crossing Bridge of the People (yep, that’s its name!), the largest car-free bridge in the United States. And don’t miss lunch at Theory, OMSI’s cafe. The chef is amazing, and it has something for everyone (from elevated specials to a pizza bar). One of our favorites we often go to even without a visit to the museum!
Nestled in an old classic-style cinema, Wunderland is an old-time arcade and the states oldest movie theater wrapped into one. It’s fun, kooky, kitschy, and awesome. Kids and adults love to have birthday parties here! And it’s smack in the middle of Belmont Street’s excellent dining and bars. A quick walk from your Airbnb!
