Things to do in Portland when you're bored

So I'll be in Portland for about a week and a half.

what to do during the daytime? Usually grab lunch somewhere. Any interesting shit going on?

maybe i'll do some photography or videography there...any interesting places to go to?

 

If you're really bored, you can come by and make me lunch.

People watching at Pioneer is always enjoyable.

Ride the tram?

 

I make my own video.

 

Kind of want to check out the food shack pods popping up, esp on the eastside.

Don't forget all the jack shacks.

 

Go raincoat shopping. That's about it this time of the year.

 

Drive up the Gorge and go to Bonneville Hot Springs.

Head over to the Couv for a flick at Cinetopia. Put your feet up, drink some wine, order some gourmet food, enjoy a movie...

^ good time and The Couv have never been in a sentence together I'm sure.

I definately reccomend checking out the food carts. And the east side is where the good ones are..... Check out Over the Top. It is in a little food cart pod on 50th and division. They make wild game burgers. The Elk and Wild Boar burgers are to die for. Also, there is a new collection of carts on 32nd and Division with some good stuff, and a newly opened beer cart. Awesome.

 

any good coffee houses to veg out and read books all day?

 

I think I'm going to reconnect with the Portland of my youth. Hit up the Oregon Historical museum and art museum. Hand in the Library, etc. Hope the weather doesn't suck too badly.

 

Jim and Patty's on NE Fremont and about 50th is kick ass!
