A pretty simple breakfast place with a light unicorn theme that feels really local and homey. If you want to sit down for a simple bagel or egg scramble this is a very close and not often busy option.

They have weird beer and beer slushies. There is a ton of seating here though, and it is tucked away. It is notably the closest brewery to the airbnb, about five blocks. The real draw though is that they serve Matt's BBQ Tacos, which are likely the best BBQ Tacos in the city, if not the world.

A 12 minute walk away, McMenamins is a local chain that buys historic buildings and turns them into restaurants. This one is an old school building that is actually multiple bars, restaurants, a theater and event space all in one. The bar that is located in the old boiler room is my favorite.

This is our preferred coast town. The highlight is the huge sand dune hill, and Cape Kiwanda. You can visit the Tillamook Cheese factory on the way and make a day out of it. Seaside, Newport, Cannon beach, or Lincoln City are also good options. Show up early for parking.

Some locals call it Snob Hill, this is one of the popular downtown streets with lots of boutiques and restaurants. It is along the streetcar route. Honestly the main draws back in the day were Salt and Straw and Bamboo sushi, but both of those places have locations here on Alberta. If you're looking for a place to visit downtown, I would go to Powells Books instead.
