Food Carts
More than 600 food carts dot Portland’s streets, most announcing their daily location via tasty Twitter posts or colorful Instagram feeds. From Kim Jong Grillin’ to The Frying Scotsman, many have fantastic names, but there’s no trade-off in flavor at famous stops like Thai chicken and rice at Nong’s Khao Man Gai, or the comfort food perfection of the Grilled Cheese Grill. Korean-style tacos from Boolkogi and Malaysian potato curry dumplings at The Dump Truck are other sidewalk treats worth seeking out.

Saturday Farmers Market
The farmers market downtown on Saturdays is the place to be, ATTENTION! Whether you’re looking for a specific souvenir for your cousin or an authentic, Portland-made hot sauce, you’ll find it here. Make sure to stop by the food trucks beforehand so you can shop and walk on a full stomach.
Powell’s City of Books
Powell’s City of Books is the world’s biggest independent bookstore and a brilliant place to pick up titles on Oregon’s interesting food and beer scenes. The travel section is seemingly the size of a small European principality, and it’s easy to get pleasantly lost as you go walkabout discovering hard to find books on hard to reach countries. Maybe pack a GPS.
