Portland's Golden Age
Posted by: kmikeym
Everyone is talking about the New York Times' apparent love affair with Portland as they spill more ink over our fair city. Most recently a wonderful piece in the Dining & Wine section, "In Portland, a Golden Age of Dining and Drinking".
This is a golden age of dining and drinking in a city that 15 years ago was about as cutting edge as a tomato in January. Every little neighborhood in this city of funky neighborhoods now seems to be exploding with restaurants, food shops and markets, all benefiting from a critical mass of passion, skill and experience, and all constructed according to the gospel of locally grown ingredients.
