Now even though I am not a local, after three years of adventuring to Portland from school, I have definitely found some of my favorite places to grab a bite.
Maine Squeeze. My ultimate summer go-to. If you ever want a good smoothie/acai bowl and you are in the Portland area, you need to check this place out. I wish I could go here everyday, but your girl only has an internship.
Micucci’s Italian Market. Get their pizza–you might need to share with a friend! Each slice is literally a pound! So, come with an appetite. Its super plush-crust sicilian ZA.
Bayside American Cafe. The ultimate brunch spot.I spent a total of four hours here once just sitting by myself (don’t judge) enjoying the view. If you go upstairs there is a cute lil table right next to a window which overlooks a park.
Hot Suppa. From what I here, this is also an amzing place to go for brunch, but sadly have not had the chance to make it yet. I have only gone for dinner–and it did not disappoint! They have amazing grits.
Pai Men Myaki. Last but def not least, is my favorite restaurant in Portland. I can not steer away from what I always get, but if you are ever craving ramen, do go here! Also, their sushi is soooo good.
Cheers!
