I'm planning a trip down to Portland, Oregon and was wondering what are some must go places while driving down or when you're actually in portland? Will be going with the GF if that matters. I've already done a search and visited the thread about Seattle/Portland and there wasn't much there so I decided to post here where there is lots of traffic.
Voodoo Donuts - go early and prepare to wait in line that snakes around the block.
If you like Coffee, the popular joint is Stumptown Coffee.
Portland is also known for all the food stalls/trailers that are parked around parking lots downtown. Kind of like the Richmond Night Market, but all sorts of food.
I stayed at Hotel Monaco which is downtown. Excellent location, and very nice hotel. They also have a happy hour each day from 5pm-6pm, where they serve free wine and beer, with a live piano player.
Not sure if the Saturday market is open yet, but it's on the weekends under the Burnside Bridge.
Other than that, visit the Pearl District (kind of like our Yaletown) for lots of breweries and pubs.
-shopping of course at the outlets
-the beach (long beach?) is supposed to be quite nice
-i would watch the pacific northwest episode of no reservations and go where tony went lol...maybe other food shows too (diners drive ins and dives?)
shopping since there is no Tax. I went there a couple years ago and it's really neat just to walk around down town since everything is so close. As well the night scene is awesome with a gastown style atmosphere with real neat bars.
Screen door is good, Pok Pok for thai food, Porque No for some BOMB mexican food. The drinks are really strong there too if you're into that kinda thing.
dune buggy rides? Portland is pretty famous for their dunes.

I'm in Portland for the weekend and we're staying at the Crowne Plaza near the convention centre. Good location, nice rooms, and right off the I-5.
Go to Woodburn outlets, Bridgeport Village, and Washington Square. As for eats, try brunch at Tasty 'n Sons and dinner at Pok Pok. Also check out http://www.foodcartsportland.com/ for reviews and info on the food carts located throughout the city.
To the OP, try using Priceline! Using Priceline, I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn at Portland/Lake Oswego for 3 nights, $50 each night. Free parking and free wi-fi. No free breakfast though. It's not in downtown Portland - about 10-15 minutes away.

Unfortunately, yes. I was just in Portland 10 days ago, and tons of fat white chicks...
