Amazing and creative ice cream. Salt & Straw has a few locations in Portland and has expanded to a few other cities. This is their original shop, they started out with a cart on Alberta St. before opening this store. They have their regular line up of flavors (try the olive oil, it sounds weird but is so good!) and Every month they have a special theme menu. The line can be quite long but it moves pretty fast and they let you sample as many flavors as you want.

Italian style pizza in a cute stretch of N Williams St. They have happy hour everyday from 12-6pm that includes a discount in wine and beer and $5 margarita pizzas. You can’t beat that price for such tasty pizza. The arugula and kale salad is also really good and big enough to share.

Seriously the best croissants you will ever have. We have to stop ourselves from going every weekend. Only open Thursday-Sunday and they sell out of some stuff so going on the earlier side is a good idea if you have something specific in mind.

Some favs over there are Fresh Pot for coffee, Gravy for breakfast, Por Que No for tacos/margaritas, and Mississippi Pizza for pizza by the slice (and boozy slushees if it’s hot out). The fun part of this street runs from Mississippi and Skidmore (a little more than a mile walk from the Airbnb) all the way down to Fremont.

NW 23rd and NW 21st are the two major streets in Portland’s Alphabet District. This area is popular among college students and young professionals. Each street has countless restaurants, bars, shops, etc. running from burnside to about Quimby street. Great place for a stroll. This area also has several of our favorite restaurants that originated in The Northeast Portland area, we usually go to these in NE but will swing by their NW locations if we are in the area. This includes Salt & Straw, Life of Pie, Pine Street Biscuits, and Bamboo Sushi. There is also a local theater in this area that plays random indie films.
