Suggestions for Community and Government near Downtown Portland, Portland

Alex B. • October 14, 2013Walk through with headphones on, even if you're not listening to anything. It's the best way to avoid canvassers.

Richard L. • September 23, 2010Take classes here, and get to spend your day in the oldest, and most beautifully restored, building on campus.

John L. • November 22, 2012If you want the store to validate parking, be sure to park at the Smart Park on 3rd and Alder. If your vehicle is in the Alder Street garage across the street, the store does not validate there.

H. C. • February 8, 2016No-frills theater on the PSU campus. Great resource to have as a student, good as a community member, but you get what you (don't) pay for. Wish there was better soundproofing in the theaters¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Portland State University • September 6, 2011Watch your step! Did you know the field you stand on is made up of 150,000 recycled athletic shoes donated by Nike? Just do it!

SundanceTV • July 13, 2012If the museum is closed, or the front entrance is blocked, walk to the south side of the building and there will be a sign (enter in the Hoffman Lobby). Just hang out until someone come to unlock it.

Richard L. • February 6, 2011Go inside and look around. You can take the stairs up to the cupola.

Gwen C. • August 31, 2014Great customer service! Stephanie Lee my personal fave but everyone in there is so sweet...you can't go wrong!

Pach R. • January 2, 2015Great wine selection, the staff is well informed and the owner even makes his own wine.

Libby K. • August 17, 2018This place has delicious drinks and seafood offerings. The menu is seasonal and changes daily, so everything is super fresh and locally sourced. They also have a good number of vegetarian offerings.

Nic L. • June 20, 2011Great Salmon. For a more relaxed atmosphere go to the bar area in the back- same food options and bar options too!

Heather M. • July 21, 2013Our favy pizza!! The staff is super great! The schmojito's are amazing.

Christian A. • January 3, 2011Try the ham & cheese omelette (comes with potatoes and toast) paired with a cup of coffee. Great way to start the day!

Jay • May 13, 2019A nice assortment of different tea and spices (sugar and salt too)! They recently opened a tea bar. Check the place out!

Olivia B. • November 25, 2015The chicken coco is my staple go to here. The food is always worth it. The lamb gyros are huge and very worth it.

Lucy F. • August 3, 2013Get the peach crumble pie thing!! Excellent chunks of fruit and not overly sweet. Yuma!

Erica M. • September 12, 2022Absolutely love Mother’s. Everything on the menu is phenomenal and the service is delightful.

Katya K. • July 25, 2014Lazy Sunday is amazing. Was served by a very nice young woman who told me an interesting fact; Jerry has visited this exact store!!

Shannon G. • August 7, 2011This is amazing for kids. Highly suggest. And the Sub tour is worth it.

Oge M. • August 16, 2012Delicious breakfast sandwiches, excellent coffee, pleasant atmosphere, and courteous service.

Jen D. • June 1Free breakfast is grand! You can make your own waffles

Nicole K. • March 8, 2015Friendly staff. Well curated, rotating craft beer selection. To go bottles. Bring in your own food and have a beer!

Asif H. • July 2, 2012Try irish nachos to share. Really good with harp beer

Christian A. • April 24, 2011Nice place to shop but their men's clothing section is not as big & diverse as the store in Washington Square. Be prepared to stand in line for their tiny fitting room & check out stands.

Ryan V. • June 4, 2013Definitely check out their bar. They have a great selection of craft beers plus great service!
