It's downtown, and near lots of great shops and restaurants in the Pearl District. There's a lovely tea house there, too. Tasty lunch can be had within a few blocks at Pho Van (try the avocado or jackfruit shake!). Delicious dinners can be had at downtown <a href="http://higgins.citysearch.com/" rel="nofollow">Higgins</a> and <a href="http://www.alamirportland.com" rel="nofollow">Al Amir</a>, or at any number of places on NW 23rd if you make it up that direction. The best cocktails in town are at <a href="http://www.vault-martini.com/main.htm" rel="nofollow">Vault Martini</a>. I have tons of other recommendations, but don't want to overload you with them! Feel free to contact me if you want more ideas. Stacy If you can’t get out of the city, I recommend the Classical Chinese Garden.
