going to Portland for the weekend and wondering if folks can recommend good street food/informal places such as burritos or schwarma joints. Not looking for anything fancy on this trip. Also, have a favorite breakfast joint close...

of the week but it is well worth the drive out to the lake. Sample menus are on their website, they have quite a few choices, and though there is a new chef this year, food there has always been exceptional. www.aldencamps.com...

Bazin’s on Church Street right in town. A bit pricey, but terrific food, atmosphere and bar (with full menu). Nothing else like it in town. Tequilla Grande has decent Mexican. Amphora Diner for late night dining (open 24...

For a great greasy-spoon breakfast head to the Guasti Cafe across the street from the airport at Archbald. The portions are huge and the food is good.

El Beit, the new coffeshop in the space of the former “Read Cafe” has really tasty breakfast sandwiches. Pre-made goat cheese and grilled fennel, brie and apples, eggsalad with dill kind of fare on sullivan street...

in Belgian, and above average pub grub.

Endlessly searching for quality "Pub Grub" in a laid back venue. Classic Burgers, Crisp Fries, and Creative Entree Salads. Spare me another Chicken Caesar and Soggy Frites. Any Suggestions?

Greek: “Milos” on West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue for fish dishes. “Molyvos” on Seventh Ave. between 55th and 56th Street for superb greek cuisine. Both are expensive.

Across the street and a little south is El Ranchito. Tasty Latino food and lots of options around $10. Can’t help you with the bars—I must be too old... :)

to home, but I’d like something new. Solea is an option, but not usually fond of their wines by the glass. So...decent wine, decent grub, decent price, cozy...any ideas??
