Like a mini farmers market mixed with a block party vibe, Portlanders enjoyed the warm summer day and perused the vendors’ tasty treats, refreshing drinks, colorful flowers, pret

50 Plates is a Pearl District restaurant that tends to fly under the radar, probably because it’s a bit off the beaten path. It’s backed by a “hospitality group” and it’s got a kitschy “upscale comfort food” concept with a menu that features somewhat cornily contrived dish names lik

(updated) Just a few quick coffee notes: Blue Gardenia in the heart of the Mississippi area, is closing tomorrow. According to my source, the staff was a little bit surprised by the turn of events.

None of these closed restaurants are a big story by themselves, so I’ve just been posting them on Twitter/Facebook, but now have enough for a story.
