Where I Go Out
Vegan Deluxe sandwich
$, American, Hosford Abernethy
"This is a great, light, hot sandwich that is so satisfying but doesn’t leave you weighed down. It's filled with grilled onions, wilted spinach, tomatoes and hummus and served on toasted pumpernickel bread that's served in a dark lounge with kitschy, retro decor."
Bryan's Bowl
$$, Tacos, Mexican, Hawthorne
"They use really great, fresh ingredients at this little Mexican spot. You can have it vegetarian or not, and the fresh tortillas are so comforting. Be prepared to wait in line if you go during prime dining hours, but it's so worth it."
Biwa hamburger
"The bacon, the bun, and the Asian spice on this burger are amazing! It's only served on their late-night menu after 10 p.m. on weekdays and after 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays."
Baguette
$$, Bakery, Hosford Abernethy
"Tim Healea sets the standard for amazing artisan bread in Portland."
Insalata Nostrana
$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Italian, Southeast Portland
"I love Nostrana's spin on this classic salad. They soak the radicchio so it isn’t bitter, and the accompaniment of the garlicky dressing is a great combination."
