Home of the original.
Buttermilk Mountain
Red pants, green circles, and the side of my head.
High Ground Cafe
I mean, it’s Iowa.
Funk & Waffles
Bacon Basil Brie waffle + Peanut Butter Latte in the home of my alma mater. A+ out of you, Syracuse.
Creme de la Crumb
When in town to run a half marathon, what does a girl need above all else? Surprisingly not *more* lululemon. A girl needs CARBS, and the scones from Creme de la Crumb are the most perfect pre-race fuel ever.
Blue Star Donuts
Sit down, Voodoo. Blue Star are the BEST donuts in Portland, hands down. Don’t @ me.
Bamboo Sushi
Even if you have zero ties to Boston, get yourself a Green Monster.
Multnomah Falls
How to kill an afternoon when your flight gets delayed by 12 hours? Switchbacks for DAYS.
Snowmobiling Rabbit Ears Pass
This excursion was part of one of the most fun spur-of-the-moment trips I’ve ever gone on. 10/10 would recommend.
