Good Eats...Mmmmm

As many of you have already noticed, I’m very proud of my hometown. Portland, Oregon—-known as the “City of Roses”—-has got more than just the beautiful flower it’s known for. This beautiful city is the home to many
wonderful things—-parks, bikes, and beer are just a few of those that I’ve mentioned. In addition to these, the city has what is known as good “eats”—-this informal, colloquial term means to say that the city has got delicious food. It seems there are always new restaurants and coffee shops popping up all over Portland. Every time I go home I never have enough time to see or try it all. Lucky for me, a good friend of mine is particularly talented at finding the best “eats” in Portland—-and all at a reasonable price! Her name is Danielle and she’s got a blog known as Mangia featuring the best places in town to get yummy food for cheap!


You can browse her website and check out her post about one of my all time favorite pizza places in Portland: American Dream Pizza. Here’s the link:

She has visited restaurants throughout the city ranging from unique sandwich shops to the tastiest place to find desert, from yummy bakeries to the best pizza, from Greek to Mexican food, and so much more. Take a look! Where would you like to eat in Portland??

  5. Hello Molly, you’ve awakened our appetite. We really must go to Portland, and we’ll splurge in its restaurants. See you later.
