Hawthorne | Portland Oregon 4

All week I have been featuring the Hawthorne District in Southeast Portland on my blog. I would be amiss if I didn't mention the "Pastaworks".

A first-class and unique establishment for meeting your gourmet needs. There are three stores in Portland.

They boast having the largest selection of Italian wine in the country. But, they have an excellent selection of cheeses, veggies not to mention freshly made pasta. Their gourmet selection of meats is unparalleled.

My wife and I usually op for their freshly made pasta anytime that we are near the store. I couldn't help myself but to photograph the veggies and posturerised them.

Hawthorne | Portland Oregon 3

We have been talking about Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, Oregon and how cool of a neighborhood it is. Well, it's time to discover some of the neat places that are there.

Nick's Coney Island in the Hawthorne District has had a reputation for years as having the "best dog" around. Nick, himself is long gone but, there are new owners and they are doing a super job of keeping up the image.

So, where did my wife and I go to eat when we were visiting the Hawthorne Area? Nick's of course!

I have to admit I ordered what they call a "Sloppy Hamburger" and not a coney. The burger was excellent, came with good fresh, not frozen fries and, was well priced...a "full meal deal".

On the other hand, my wife ordered a double coney and a Tomato Basil Soup as her side. The coney came with a very thick meat sauce...not with a traditional chili sauce per se. The hot dogs they serve, as well as the sauce, are first-class.  The soup was extremely thick and very tasteful.

From there we went to "Ben and Jerry's" to load up on ice cream. They are expensive, but worth the price. Need I say more?

Hawthorne | Portland Oregon 2

This is installment number two on Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, Oregon. One of the coolest neighborhoods you'll find anywhere. Here's the first post: Hawthorne | Portland Oregon

Hey! Just walking down the street and taking pictures! There's wall-to-wall shops, people and cool eating places. A place where the hippies and yuppies live in perfect harmony.

If you live in town...go visit the place! If you live out of town...go visit the place! If you are looking for things to do...go visit the place! Geez!

Hawthorne | Portland Oregon

There are many cool neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon but one of the coolest is a section of Hawthorne Boulevard which consists of: just a guess, a stretch that runs downward from 39th Avenue to about 34th in Southeast Portland.


In that stretch is a collection of everything from major retailers, "Fred Meyers" and "Powell Books" to wall-to-wall small, and viable entrepreneurial shops. With most of those places featuring unusual things not readily available elsewhere. Ooh, did I mention that there's a "Ben and Jerry's"!


OK! Hawthorne Blvd is sort of a throwback to the Hippie thing that, over the years has added the Yuppie thing. Together it makes for a cool combination...Haight-Ashbury meets a reasonably priced and unstuffy Rodeo Drive...with tons of cool eating spots.


So, if you are looking for things to do in Portland...this is MUST!
