53.

Considering that I am solar powered and the sun doesn't shine that often during these months in Portland, I did manage to have some fun perusing the city. Here are a few things I would recommend checking out. This is definitely not a guide to Portland. This is simply a few things I found in Portland flying by the seat of my pants with no real guidance.

p.s. Visit during the summer.

Martinott's Deli was right down the street from me the whole trip but I didn't discover it until my last day. Filled with cheeses, high end and beautifully designed chocolate and tons of yummy smells, I wish that I could have eaten here for lunch one day.

The Classic Chinese Gardens
in Portland are not amazing but the tea house is certainly fun. 

Voodoo Doughnuts.Hmmm. Weird. Good. Butterfinger covered doughnuts, bacon covered doughnuts

Bailey's Taproom

Across the street from Bailey's Taproom was the Tugboat Brewing Co.

Apizza Scholls gets an A
Schneider and Sons Edel-Wiess on draft for a small price of $6.00
woot!

Cacao seemed a little pretentious but the cup of hot chocolate was amazing and the individual and uniquely designed chocolates were just as good.

'The bridges in Portland are abundant and fantastic. Take a walk along the waterfront or lay in the grass in the abundant green space. It rained to much for me to be able to do this but I bet it is awesome in the summer months. The Museum of Science and Industry was a huge failure. It is possibly the worst museum I have ever been to

Powell's bookstore is gigantic. I could have stayed there for weeks. I managed to waste most of my time in the design section but I did get a chance to walk through the entire place and it was a little overwhelming. If I lived in Portland I would spend a lot of time in this place and spend all my money on books.

Stumptown coffee was also located in the bottom of the Ace Hotel so every morning I not only got to smell amazing aromas of fresh brewed awesomeness but I got to partake in a little as well. A little is an understatement considering that I went to this place at least twice a day. After happy hour a little mocchiato goes a long way. Stumptown coffee tasting is like wine tasting. Varietals have an intense impact on the flavor of their coffees. They have an impressive roasting laboratory and not to mention direct trade coffees. Read more here.

Kenny and Zukes was next door to our hotel and seems to always have a line out the door. Make sure you only order half of a sandwich here or at least share one. The deli style sandwiches are too big to eat by yourself unless you have the appetite of a t-rex. They have moxie and mexican coca-cola here which made my day. Not a ton of vegetarian options here but they do have soups and breakfast foods.

BlueHour wasn't exactly in my budget but somehow I stumbled inside

Clyde Common is attached to Ace Hotel and was right up my alley. Long common tables for parties to share, excellent cocktails and great design all in one. Because this was attached to Ace it was the bar of choice for a nightcap or two. The staff is friendly and the food is great. The people frequenting this place seems to be lame hipster types with goofy haircuts but aside from that I highly recommend this place.

Ace Hotel made my trip worthwhile. I recommend this hotel if you ever pass through Portland downtown. The common room is always full of people. There is a photobooth in the lobby and the upstairs smells like bacon and coffee all the time. This is definitely a boutique hotel and could come across as a bit pretentious to some. The features here are endless from the clean and minimal design to the adorable bicycles for rent. Each room boasts different art on the wall and other randoms. Some rooms have record players. There were cute snacks with great packaging, exceptional pillows and lighting, bike rentals from Jorg and Olif and extremely comfy robes commissioned just for Ace by wings and horns.

Radish Underground is a boutique right around the corner from the Ace Hotel with super cute clothing, jewelry and accessories. They also feature new designers monthly.

Overall my trip to Portland was great. The city is great for food, beer and coffee. I don't think I would ever be able to live in Portland due to lack of sunshine but the experience was one of a kind. Also the transit system is great.
