Description

Exploring the quirky eccentricities of the City of Roses, this intimate pocket companion to Portland examines numerous lesser-known gems treasured by locals of this unique West coast metropolis. An offbeat alternative to most basic travel guides, this accessible volume exposes local histories and legends while revealing the best eateries, choicest hotels, and hottest nightspots. From watching the weather machine in Pioneer Courthouse Square or choosing a blossom at the International Rose Test Garden to riding the only three-door elevator west of the Mississippi or embarking on a microbrewery pub crawl, this handy travel tome shows that experiencing the unknown can be truly unforgettable.
