Surrounded by the spectacular backdrop of the surrounding scenery of Oregon, the city of Portland offers visitors a creative journey through its vibrant culinary scene, paired with an incredible scene environment for eclectic arts, music, and outdoor scenes. On my most recent visit my best friend Jessi, and I partnered with Travel Portland and Travel Oregon to several key spots to get a taste of some of the most iconic flavors and beautiful destinations the state and the city have to offer.
Even though I have my go-to staples like Blue Star Donuts and Pine State Biscuits, I try my best to visit a new restaurant or two, along with stretching my legs and getting out of the city for some of the most beautiful scenery the state has to offer. I normally visit around three-to-four times a year to visit friends, local chefs and attend events.
On a recent visit to Portland, I’ve come to feel it’s become almost like a 2nd home.
