  • 1. SmartPark (O'Bryant Square) portlandonline.com/smartparkPark

    808 Southwest Stark Street Directions

  • 2. Saucebox www.saucebox.comDining

    214 SW Broadway Directions

    Established in 1995, Saucebox has maintained its reputation in the city as the place for the finest Pan-Asian and Pacific Island cuisine. The menu pulls from a wealth of bold and authentic flavors. Fruit infusions, elixirs and our notable "liquor laboratory" are also specialties of the house.

  • 3. XV www.xvpdx.com/Dining

    15 SW 2nd Ave. Directions

    An effortless blend of elegant interiors and indie cool combined with excellent music (free juke before the local fave DJs) and Caribbean bar food (yam fries, coconut onion rings), draws a stylish clientele to sip Chartreuse amidst the candle-lit nooks.

  • 4. Portland City Grill portlandcitygrill.comDining

    111 SW 5th Ave. Directions

    Portland City Grill still has a surprisingly adventurous take on pan-Asian cuisine, blackened tombo with wasabi-ginger beurre blanc, say, or mahi-mahi with papaya salsa and banana-coconut curry is worth the 30-floor elevator ride up Big Pink, but once your diners get up there, is anyone thinking about the food? No, they're checking out the sunset on Mount Hood or scanning Mount Adams for volcanic puffs.

  • 5. Voodoo Doughnut voodoodoughnut.comDining

    22 SW 3rd Ave. Directions

    Voodoo's legendary doughy treats might be illicitly delicious but at least they're legal – all doughnuts are now 100-percent trans-fat free. A sample from the hundreds of options: Mango Tango features gooey mango innards and a Tang-dusted top. The downtown shop has sass to spare. Example: When asked the difference between a Boston and a Portland cream doughnut the counter girl replied, "The Portland Cream has vision". Sweet.
