  • Trifecta is Closing

    Trifecta is Closing

    One of our favorite SE restaurants, Trifecta is closing as of the end of December 2019. What is happening to all these wonderful restaurants? Like Smallwares, the rumor is that Trifecta is closing because it didn't have the customers to sustain its costs.

    Bar Avignon: Intimate, Eccentric, and Delicious

    We love eating at Bar Avignon in Portland's SE district. The food is French and tasty. Although the wine is pricey, there are some excellent beers on offer. It also has a great chefs counter and friendly service. What more do you need?

Night Train Update: Coast Starlight

November 9, 2018 Morgan Hart 0

The Seattle to LA Coast Starlight is indicative of Amtrak’s current sate of distressed grace, but it’s still worth the ride. One relatively recent improvement is the addition of a nice business class car to the train, making less than overnight trips up and down the Left Coast a no brainer.
