Portland has to be the mecca of food carts. They are downtown, in southeast, in Old Town, practically every district of the city. I like the carnitas burrito at El Jarrito; it's filled with the perfect combo of pork, rice, beans, sour cream, and cilantro.

This bakery is about 3 blocks from me. It serves pastries, coffee, espresso drinks, and sandwiches, as well as beer and wine. It opens at 7 am and closes at 3 pm in the afternoon. I like the muffins and the scones. If you order the biscuit, make sure they heat it for you.

Carina opened in spring 2017 in a location formerly known as Bastas. The staff is friendly and attentive; the beer and wine selection are respectable; and the food is delicious. The happy hour offers a good variety of tasty snacks. Carina has outdoor seating in the front.

What I like about Thai Bloom, besides its just-across-the-street location, is that they use fresh ingredients, the portions are generous, and the food is reliably good. If you like Thai food, you can't go wrong here.

I've seen some great acts and attended some fun events at Revolution Hall: Storm Large, Floydian Slips, Dan Savage, and the Oregon Beer Show, among others. It used to be a school and still has the basic school layout only fixed up and minus the grade school art on the walls. It has bars on the first floor and the second floor with a beer selection to make everyone happy.

One-stop shopping: groceries, prescriptions, and sundries. They remodeled a couple of years ago and put in a beer/wine bar with televisions, a hot/cold deli, and improved their selections of almost everything. Annoying that Freddy's separates organic from conventional, so you have to shop in different spots.

The Pearl District used to house mechanics' garages, breweries, warehouses, and all things industrial. Entrepreneurs and developers have replaced those with high-rise apartments, condos, restaurants, salons, boutiques, bars, and nightclubs. You can still find a few breweries: Deschutes, Bridgeport, and 10 Barrel all live in the Pearl.

Old Town Chinatown is definitely seedy, but if you can get past that, you'll get a glimpse of how Portland looked in the early 1900's. Saturday Market is also in this part of town and you can find all kinds of treasures there.
