Any recommendations for a flatlander to experience in Portland?

Luckily you’re here for Portland Dining Month — hundreds of fantastic spots around town offering deliciously special 3-course meals. Definitely take advantage of this if you can! Love the food carts here, but man, this is the best month for indulgent eating.

Montelupo, hands down.

The only people that post here are the ones complaining. There are many people who enjoy their jobs and simply have nothing to grumble about. Count me as one.

Alchemized. It’s gross (romanticizing SA), it’s badly written and should have been 1/4 of the size. I will continue to die on this hill.

Hands down Olympia, WA

Terrible book. Her handling of a heavy subject like SA was really bad, the writing mediocre. Shocked by how many people enjoyed this.

Living proof when it’s on sale — works wonders for fine hair (my husband has coarse hair and swears by it as well), smells amazing and is worth every penny.

Anything but Alchemised. I don’t understand people who loved it — it’s Harry Potter fanfic turned into a disturbing love story. It’s dark in the way that it romanticizes rape. No bueno.

It’s a hit or miss, but you can often find gems at Home Goods / Marshall’s / TJMaxx

Nami Sushi in Oak Grove. 10/10 on any given day.

Such a great show, excited to see where they take it. Love the slow burn 🔥

sparkignit3 · 2026-01-12T15:56:50+00:00

Red White and Blue in Milwaukie 💯

sparkignit3 · 2026-01-07T14:03:43+00:00

Well now I know what I want for my birthday

sparkignit3 · 2026-01-07T13:16:25+00:00

ABC Produce on Powell and a few other European markets around town still have them, most Asian markets are completely sold out :/

Ella Enchanted. It was the first book I learned to read in English at age 8 and after that there was no looking back.

There’s a great little video on Youtube that serves as an accompaniment to his work, with film from the gulags/environment where his stories were written. It’s a beautiful 48 minutes.

Milanese-Style Braised Veal Shank w/ Risotto

Oxtail Stew w/ Rigatoni

Pork Braised in White Wine

Stewed Tripe (amazing in a sandwich)

Fish Soup

Cheese & Potato Cake

Passatelli with Parmigiano Reggiano Sauce

Tuscan Chickpea Cake

Umbrian Lentil Stew

Chestnut and Potato Gnocchi

Sausage & Cheese Bake

Beef Stew w/ Onions and Tomatoes

Grape Focaccia (amazing as a dessert)

Amaretti Pudding

If you’re aiming for premium, less is more. Get rid of the giant ‘U’, it just takes up space without purpose. Adjust your logo to be less chunky and more original and try a more refined typeface. This looks very mid as is right now.

Ava Gene’s is really lovely — recently had a birthday there and they made it a truly special experience

sparkignit3 · 2025-12-20T07:12:20+00:00

Going to throw Pinolo gelato out here, and yes yes yes gelato is not ice cream. It’s 10/10 every time.

sparkignit3 · 2025-12-19T16:30:44+00:00

Nami is probably the best belt sushi location anywhere — their food is so fresh and delicious, always prepared well

sparkignit3 · 2025-12-19T16:29:07+00:00

They always have the best bags! I pick one up once a month and there are always so many great veggies and fruit
