A list of sour beer so long, you won't be able to try them all. You can get the 2oz glasses and keep trying. They are all delicious! My favorite is the nouxiou. (Not totally sure on spelling) Great outdoor seating! Closes at 10pm.

BEST sandwiches in PDX! The best! I recommend the #1. Free delivery, but can take a long time (delivery menus in the kitchen). It's about a 7 block walk. Fyi... open at 5pm - 2am. Technically connected to the bar next door called "No Fun Bar" you can eat outside or next door at No Fun. Sometimes they have weird movies playing.

Best brunch in town, worth the 1.5hr wait. Since it's literally just down the street, if you go at 1pm, you'll wait for less time. They have coffee while you wait, at least. Brunch ends at 2pm. Kids play areas inside.

Amazing, amazing trails and a lush green forest all year round. The moss is beautiful! You can hike and mt. bike on the trails. Sometimes there's a few people on the trails, but you can usually find never ending amount of trails that lead off away from people. Great for jogging.

Great yoga classes. Friendly staff and instructors. I recommend Stephanie's class. She also sometimes does sound healing sessions with gongs and singing bowls. A room is filled with people laying down and it is so relaxing. A next level meditation!
