I went to Portland with a couple of friends two weekends ago. We drove there midday on Saturday and stay overnight. We went shopping at Woodburn Outlets, tried a couple new restaurants we've never been before and got to enjoy a gorgeous fall afternoon in the park. Here are some snapshots from my iphone.
After walking around Pioneer Square, we headed to Basa Basa to grab some dinner. It’s a small Korean fried chicken wings joint that I read about online, so I thought I wanna try it. It is one of the Ocean micro-restaurants that is located at NE Gilsan St & NE 24th Ave. There are neighboring restaurants in the same complex that share common space. So you can order at any of these restaurants and eat wherever you like. (Eater PDX has some articles published about these restaurants.) I have to say that the architecture of the buildings, both interior and exterior, are very interesting.
Update: Basa Basa has been closed down apparently. You can read about it here.
Last weekend, I took a short trip to Portland, Oregon with a bunch of my friends. We drove down Saturday morning and made our first stop at Tasty and Sons for brunch.
The place was packed and we waited for a good hour for our table to be ready. (It’s probably a good idea for you to make reservation if you are going to go there on weekends.)
