The Octet: 94 Hours in Portland, Oregon

Dispatches from my first time in the Pacific Northwest: great food, natural beauty, channeling Oasis, 12" records, and a 20" affogato.

Portland was a trip. Having not being before I don’t know if the 1990s never ended there or perhaps just the current grunge/post-grunge trends are simply thriving. Either way, that made me feel at home. Big hat tip to our friends Andi, Currie, Tera, Caroline, David, and Leah for the excellent recommendations.
