Pok Pok is a Portland staple. They got so popular they decided they needed to open a smaller version of the restaurant. Lucky for us, they opened 2 blocks away. If you don't try the wings, you're missing out.

Multnomah falls is about 30 minutes outside of Portland. It's one of the easiest trips to take, and it's worth the trip. After parking off the freeway, it's a short walk to the bottom of the falls. Getting up to the bridge only takes an additional 7 minutes or so. When the trail is open, you' can walk to the top of the falls if you're feeling more ambitious.
