Portland if you please
It’s only a few hours from YYC to PDX and yet the City of Roses feels like a world away. Herewith, our picks for Portland.
stay
In the heart of the trendy Pearl District, the Ace Hotel is right by the easy-to-get-lost-in Powell’s Books.
shop
Is it a music label or a made-in-Portland emporium? It’s both! Tender Loving Empire showcases the most stylish designs and newest tunes by Portland’s own.
do
Walk! Downtown PDX is perfectly laid out for strolling from food carts to riverside parks to boutiques and then back to more food carts.
eat
Try the ever-changing tasting menu at Toro Bravo. Because you can’t eat every meal on wheels.
drink
Happy Hour is elevated to an art in Portland so take the elevator to the rooftop and grab a seat with a view at Departure. —Kelsey Dundon
