pok pok was awesome.

There was another place that i always got it confused with that was also really good. (i was drunk when we went so i can't tell you where it is)

decent sushi on mississippi

i'm realizing that most of the places i have eaten are actually nowhere near the downtown area. I have just been drinking downtown. lol

however, mary's is right there and you don't get much worse for a strip club, butthere is a great mexican joint that is kind of attached. a really good beer place across the street from it too.

This is really awesome! Thanks we will keep looking at these!
I cant wait to eat and drink our way through Portland 
There are some really great suggestions here to choose from. Thanks

I wasn't all that impressed by VooDoo Donut. They were good donuts, but not great. They mainly seem to be cool due to the unique combinations they have and the weird atmosphere. Full disclosure though...I was really hung over from brewery hopping the day before, and kind of grumpy that I had to wait in a 45 minute line for a friggin' donut!   Still, there's a far superior donut place in Seattle if you ever make it up this way.

"in Sandy"

Sandy is just outside the Liberal Zone of the Portland Metro/Tricounty area.

Hipsters are not allowed to gather in groups larger than 3 outside the zone.

Has anyone eaten at
Pok Pok or Screen Door?

Pok Pok is excellent! The only downside, if it's to be considered such, is that they don't take reservations for this very popular place. The dinner rush can be a good wait.

Hey knight, do you need a ride to mother's hide away from PDX?

but then you lose half the fun of voodoo

I like Voodoo II. The shop is larger, the lines are shorter and there's a velvet oil painting of Conan O'Brien crying a single tear. Gold.

Here's a good write-up on CNN today. Bunch of good recommendations:

Geez...those Seattle suggestions suck. The Space Needle restaurant is widely known around town as being an overpriced piece of crap.  I can't believe someone from Seattle would recommend it.

Portland is a super cool city from what I've seen. I'd move there...MUCH better nearby moto roads than Seattle. Statistically the weather is worse in Portland though. I thought it was better too (always seems to be sunny when I visit), so I looked it up. They get fewer sunny days than Seattle (which is a real bummer, 'cause we don't get that many). Gets colder as well.

We blame Seattle for that.

This place was awesome.

That's OK...Seattleites all hate Oregon drivers. Which is saying something, because WA drivers suck!
