This famous ice cream parlor specializes in flavors you never would have thought of, like pear and blue cheese or balsamic vinegar ice cream. The line's out the door all summer long for a reason.

They call themselves a Pie Bar, and it's for a reason. Their coffee is perhaps the best on the street, but more importantly, their pie crusts are the best in the city and they have a large selection of pies. Seriously, get the pie.

While I generally prefer Cha Ba Thai on Alberta and 30th, this place delivers for dinner, which is soo worth it when you've had a long day and it's raining out. The basil crab rangoon here is the best example of crab rangoon anywhere ever, btw.

You could go all the way downtown and get VooDoo Donuts. Or you could skip that tourist trap and eat vastly tastier and less expensive donuts two blocks away from the house. The old fashioneds and banana bars are my favorites. Not a bad spot for a cheap breakfast sandwich, either.

This fairly new southern restaurant isn't my favorite southern place in town (it's actually a specialty in the Portland food scene-- check out Screen Door, Miss Delta, or Montage for slightly better examples of the genre-- expect a wait, especially at Screen Door), but it has a large dining room, an even larger patio, and darn good food, can seat you quickly and is just a few blocks away from the house. They've also got a good brunch on the weekends.

This bar/restaurant serves breakfast and upscale bar food all day, has a decent brunch menu, and way more tables than any restaurant in the neighborhood, including a lovely covered rooftop terrace with views of the cathedral. The food is good, the drinks are good, and they're a bar so you can get good food late for your whole crowd.
