Northwest Northwest Portland is famous for literary haven Powell’s City of Books, historically iconic attractions like the Pittock Mansion, and the vintage shops and stylish restaurants of Northwest 23rd Avenue. Forest Park, with its vast, wooded areas, is a favorite for hikers and cyclists. You can feel like you’re miles away from the city as you travel north along Highway 30 to Sauvie Island, where you’ll find U-pick berries, pumpkins, flowers and produce at places like Topaz Farm. Back near downtown, the Old Town/Chinatown district is rich with the history of some of the first immigrants to settle in Portland. Visit the Japanese American Museum and the Lan Su Chinese Garden. Just north of Old Town, the Pearl District shines with high-end boutiques and plenty of outdoor patios and cafes. Look for Northwest 21st Avenue’s Bhuna as well as Bamboo Sushi NW and Lela’s Bistro, both located along Northwest 23rd. When it comes to nightlife, sip a drink at LGBTQ-owned Sante Bar in the Pearl District, enjoy Portland’s burgeoning stand-up comedy and improv scene at the Siren Theater in Old Town/Chinatown, or unwind with food and cocktails at the Pearl District’s Pink Rabbit.
