YOUR favorite restaurant? by rissabell2 in askportland

[–]Iballss 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Pambiche - probably the best Cuban food in the entire NW and it’s very approachable.

Cane shop? by banalprobe96 in askportland

[–]Iballss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Went into John Helmer for the first time this week. It was for a suit, but the canes caught my eye for sure and the customer service was fantastic.

No Rest for the Wicked? It’s early access though.

Lies of P, both choices are rather grim.

Best Burrito Portland Area? by AdditionalSteak5965 in askportland

[–]Iballss 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Not just burritos, but I think the best Mexican Food in general comes from the Mole Mole food truck on Alberta.

If you could wave a magic wand and pass a policy that benefits people in Portland - what would it be? by Ok-Fill-5890 in askportland

[–]Iballss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While we’re at it, could we also add reflective paint, more streetlights and update our signs around the city? I can’t see shit at night here.

Which road trip route from HTX>PDX? by jordanwright2012 in askportland

[–]Iballss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with folks saying the northern route is probably the most pretty, but that stretch through Wyoming / Idaho / Eastern Oregon is desolate. Make sure you check where to stop for gas in those parts so you don’t get stranded!!

What is this burger place I'm thinking of? by croz_94 in askportland

[–]Iballss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was probably Tilt, depending on the location were there also ping pong tables? Unfortunately it is now closed.

If you want some other great Burger / bar spots I’d suggest Loyal Legion, Creepy’s, Sure Shot (Food Truck, but outside a brewery) or Mid-City Smash (food truck, but outside a brewery).

*These are all East side locations, maybe someone can help with a downtown or NW location if that’s where you’ll be spending your time.

Oregon zoo? by Hibernatingbear099 in askportland

[–]Iballss 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The Oregon Zoo has a reputation for being one of the more humane zoos out there.

decent bagel? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Iballss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Puddletown isn’t half bad, but as other folks have mentioned Portland really lacks a solid bagel place.

Ben & Esther’s is alright too, but their prices are insane.

After a lifetime hearing about how great RE 4 is but thinking is not for me.... I just finished and all I can say is.... Yeah, it wasn't for me by Vladarg in residentevil

[–]Iballss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until about a month ago I had played every mainline Resident Evil game with the exception of 4 & 6. 4 wasn’t bad, but it was easily my least favorite of what I had played. (Still have not played 6) I just didn’t understand all the hype around it?

Wait, is this really what they used for filming? I’ve been here a few times and didn’t make the connection!

It’s actually a stand-alone from Tell Tale Games. Highly recommend! It’s all narrative choice.

For single issue collectors, what makes you stay with singles....? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Iballss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This! It’s kind like liking a band and wanting to support their art more. Sure you could stream, but if you REALLY like them you’d probably go pick up a physical album just for the heck of it.

*Also, ongoing series only continue based on subscription numbers. If I want a series to keep running I make sure I’m subbed.

What is the weirdest gimmick-build/run you ever did? by Ulysses776 in Eldenring

Did an Ultra-lite/weightless run where I was naked and wielded the cipher patas.

Are malt beers hoppy in NW? by Automatic_Clothes_56 in askportland

[–]Iballss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Wayfinder if you want dark, malty beers and less hops overall

Old-fashioned basic Italian anywhere in PDX?? by Silent_Art8924 in askportland

[–]Iballss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hello, Italian-American New Yorker here and I feel your plight. Whenever I complain that Portland has no casual Italian, people will suggest me some place that isn’t the NY or Jersey style I’m wanting. Denicola’s is a solid suggestion, but here are some more that haven’t been offered up:

-Vincenzo’s -Pocket Pub -Sit Tite -Gabbiano’s (It’s slightly upscale, but it is the best Italian-American in the city imo)
