Nice. I'll have to check it out too. I wonder what the atmosphere is like there for Timbers games. I like 4-4-2 a lot (and the fact that it's like, a 6 minute walk from my house is nice too) but I'd like to switch it up sometimes. I watch games at the Lamp sometimes too; they give away a free pizza at the half, and it's usually a pretty relaxed atmosphere. The fact that I work at the Aladdin and therefore always get happy hour priced drinks at the Lamp helps too. Hah.

Which Blitz? Blitz Ladd ain't too bad because it is nothing but a sports bar.
Blitz Pearl is trash though lol.

Ladd feels like a stable to me... it's so long and disjointed. I tried watching a wcf[?] game there last year, but there were hockey kids hootin and hollerin the whole time about the winterhawks or some shit.

Upright brewing opens up before Blazer games. Great space and killer beers.
GAF, I can't make up my mind on what to do in Portland for a 2.5 days visit next week. Like I literally don't know what to do/where to go after the airport lol.
I'm itching to get some great nature and good eats but will have to rely on public transportation/bike rental. So what are your suggestions for an "Essential Portland Sampler" with those things in mind?

Ken's Artisan Pizza, apizza scholls, and Dove Vive.

How about best pizza that isn't artisanal? Like the best deep dish or something? I prefer pan and deep dish pizzas over all the fancy, skinny pizzas. Bonus points if it's near me out in Beaverton!
Just sort of curious.

dove vivi is sort of an approximation of deep dish, but I don't know of anything authentic around here

Hot Lips Sicilian is pretty fucking awesome.
Tilt is alright. Grüner apparently has an amazing burger but I haven't been yet. Slow Burger is worth a visit. Bridgeport used to have my favorite pub burger but not anymore since they changed the recipe. Killer Burger has some great selection. Little Big Burger is also a good time.
If you wanna try more "chain-esque" places, you can give Five Guys and Joe's Burgers a chance. Joe's is probably the closest you'll find to In-N-Out (not quite, but close).

There's a great burger at Yakuza Lounge, there's a peanut butter burger at Killer Burger that's actually pretty good and there is Brunch Box.

My experience with pizza in Portland isn't as broad as it could be, but I do like Eat Pizza and maybe you will too.
Also, I guess by posting in this thread I am declaring my citizenship. Greetings.

They make the best burger I've ever had, and this sentiment is shared by everyone I take. You can only eat it at the bar, though, unless you go for lunch.

Tilt for sure. Joes blows.
I was going to take my girlfriend to Grüner for dinner tonight for her birthday but she didn't feel well so I just brought her a sandwich and a slice of cake instead. I can't wait to eat there. I've never been.
Any good ideas for Valentine's Day dates? My wife and I have only been here like 8 months and aren't up on what cool things might be going down for V-Day.
If you haven't already gone, Mellow Mushroom in Pearl District is one of my favorite places to eat. The calzones are fuckin killer, the pizza is great, and they always have rad music playing. Last time I went they played a time from one if the Castlevania OST's. It's actually a southeast semi-chain. Not like a chain in the same sense as Dominos or whatever, but a real legit pizza place. First time I ate at one was near Atlanra, GA. Loved it there and went many times while I was in the are for a few months. Had no idea there were more until I are at the one in Portland. Apparently it's only one of two on the entire west coast.
Count me in on the LittleBigBurger nods as well.

La Taq in the NE is pretty solid for tequila drinks and great chips and salsa.

I hit up Chiang Mai the other day.
More expensive than some thai places but well worth what I and TD had. Get the pork belly on the menu god damn.

^ Their khao soi is probably my favorite in town, with a close second being Chaba Thai's. I love Chiang Mai. So so friendly, family run and the recipes come from her family back in Thailand directly. I am happy every time I see it packed, because there was a long time time when they first opened when it just wasn't getting the business I felt it should.
Also, the water. So good. Pandan leaves infused in the water, gives it a toasted taste that some people don't care for, but I can't get enough.

I'm supposed to be working from home today.
For some reason, the VPN gets pretty flaky if nobody's in the office.
Nobody's going to be in the office.
So, snow day.
