If you talk to people in Portland about what makes this city special, food and beer will traditionally be in the top 3. Portland is a city full of delicious food that is traditionally fairly inexpensive. The problem I have is that there are so many good spots it’s hard to figure out which one to try next. As of late my two favorites are Silk in the Pearl district, and Ya Hala in the Gateway district. This is not to say I don’t love a lot of other places, but I’d take out of towners to these restaurants any day of the week!
That being said, today, Tuesday March 29, 2011 there is a great reason to try a new restaurant. MercyCorps and a whole list of restaurants are participating in Dine out Portland. Not only will you be supporting the local economy and restaurants, but the restaurants are donating all or a portion of their proceeds to MercyCorps relief effort for Japan. This is a very personal issue to me as the Hamada family in Yokohama are like family to me. So, today is the perfect time to take your wife, girlfriend, or even buddy out for a great meal at a new restaurant. I can’t think of a better reason to sneak out of the house and enjoy a night in Portland.
