i find myself asking.. WWJD in Portland? where would he shop? where would he drink?

My first stop for drinks would be the Driftwood Room bar right in your hotel (the Mallory). And of course the Alibi and Jasmine Tree but good luck getting a good drink.

Now that Henry Ford's is no more, the best classic steakhouse is the Ringside. And for seafood I love Jake's Famous Crawfish even if it is a bit touristy.

Good stores (vintage clothing and antiques) are spread all around and at the rate they come and go I would hate to recommend one as it may be closed. There are loads of them in Portland and many have good prices. I think it's the best vintage clothing shopping in the US, but keep it under your hat. Start here for 7 pages worth:

Usually when you find one good store there are a few more in the vicinity.

If you have time to get out of town try to check out the Safari Club.
