                <description><![CDATA[A neighbourhood that's just a short streetcar ride from downtown Portland with beautiful old wooden houses, eclectic independent shops and lots of bars and restaurants. Spend the morning looking around and then visit McMenamin's Blue Moon Tavern (432 NW 21st Street) to enjoy some of their own-brand Ruby Ale.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[For seafood, I recommend Jake's Famous Crawfish on SW Stark.  Oyster lovers will enjoy the Kumamoto Oysters fresh from Netarts Bay.  The crawfish boil features creatures caught in Lake Billy Chinook, south of Portland on the Warm Springs Reservation.  Anything with Dungeness crab is going to be tasty and the fresh fish is mouthwatering. The prices are moderate here.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I noticed that someone already mentioned Stumptown Coffee, on Belmont, but I will mention it once again!  But any coffee shop you see that has a nice mix of hipsters, students, and career folk should be a decent pick.  Many other coffee joints serve Stumptown coffee anyway!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Stumptown coffee bars are where the locals in the know drink the brown fuel.<br>There are a good few of them and Dandy Warhols manager Lee Cohen is the man who dragged me there. They don't tend to play jazz either.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Everyone seems to know that Portland, Oregon is one of the hottest US cities at the moment. Driven out of California by high costs, Portland is full of arty communities, progressive politics, and one of the best public transport systems in the US. However, the McMenamin's hotels and B&amp;Bs are really a huge attraction. Edgefield is a former poorhouse from the 1920s, completely renovated and full of art, murals and photographs celebrating its history. Each room is unique, there is live music (free) each night, and they have a winery, brewery, distillery, movie theater, and now a full spa with soaking pool outdoors. Edgefield is right out of town in Troutdale, surrounded by orchards and 15 minutes from the Columbia River Gorge with access to miles of hikes, waterfalls and woods to explore. Not to mention Hood River as a lovely little town, still feeling like the "old west". This place is simply magical. Oh, and there are several little bars, including a tiny one called "The Little Red Shed" with a fire and about three tables. Go!]]></description>
