I love Portland! My sister lives there, and across my visits I have come to love the following places (should you have the time and inclination to check any of them out):
1. Southpark Seafood Grill & Wine Bar - excellent tapas-style food. Can be a bit pricey, but if you are looking to treat yourself, it's hard to beat. 901 SW Salmon Street.
2. The Hawthorne District has lots of funky stores, restaurants, theatres, etc. and is quite fun for an afternoon stroll.
3. If you are the outdoorsy type, or just looking for a pretty place to chill, I would also recommend either Mt. Tabor Park or the Japanese Garden (http://www.japanesegarden.com/). Both are absolutely gorgeous.
