We love the food at La Bonitas! It is a family-owned and operated authentic Mexican restaurant within easy walking distance from your airbnb. The menu is extensive and we have loved everything we've ordered. It is a cute, cheerful place with inside or outside seating. My favorites are the fantastic burritos, grilled or breaded fried fish taco, wonderful carnitas. The veggie burrito is great. Really anything you order will be delicious. https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-bonita-portland www.labonitapdx.com/

Great Donuts. Highly ranked (#2 or #3 in all of Portland). Way better than VooDoo Donuts. Old-school bakeshop dispensing ice cream & housemade donuts & fritters in a counter-serve setting. This establishment has been around for years. Now run by the son of the original owner, the donuts are better than ever! Unpretentious, real and inexpensive. Large variety, it has all the classics. Yummy Yummy donuts.

3808 N Williams Ave st 127, Portland, OR 97227 eempdx.com (971) 295-1645 The food is lovely - yummy, flavorful, and made with care. For such a nice place it is not very expensive. You will love it and have such a great time here! There will be some waiting if you don't get there early (they don't take reservations). Get there by 5:30 if you absolutely don't want to wait. However, the waiting is pleasant with seating, good vibes and lovely decor and with quickly delivered drinks. The cocktails are yummy, even the mocktails are tasty and good-looking and not at all too sweet. Eems is also open for lunch and we had no wait when we got there around 11:30. Voted 'Best Restaurant' by the Oregonian in 2019! Note: For parking, first cruise by the restaurant in case you get lucky, but if no parking, turn and park in the residential neighborhood a block away.

Binks is a neighborhood bar located in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. They serve fresh-squeezed cocktails, beer, wine, pizza, and salads. It’s a great bar in all kinds of weather. Snuggle up to the cozy fireplace in the winter or enjoy the open garage door while you play pool in the summer. They have some great sidewalk tables that are perfect for hanging out in the sunshine with a fresh-squeezed cocktail and doing some people watching on Alberta Street. The bartenders are always friendly- there is no ‘too cool for school’ attitude here. Binks is a fun spot for all kinds of people. The owners think of it as their living room. binksbar.com (503) 493-4430
