I'll be in Portland Thursday February 5 and Sunday February 8 to visit Portland State University and tour the city. I'm staying at a hostel west of Downtown (23rd Avenue), driving up to Seattle on Friday and coming back Saturday night. Anyone interested in a meet? Any good (cheap?) places to eat? Where's the best place to take pictures of the skyline and whatnot?

I'm down for a meet... That weekend is my wife's b-day, though. I don't know what my plans will be, but if I can make it, I'll be there.

As far as taking photos, do a mapquest on this address...

1570 SW Upper Hall St
Portland, OR 97201

It's a pretty good spot for skyline shots. The aerial tram is good, too.

As far as food, I'm sure you'll get better recomendations from others, but I like the Taste Tickler on NE 14th and B'way (not near where you're staying, but not too far a drive if you still have your car). It's a hole in the wall sub place. Pretty good and inexpensive, but like I said, others will probably have better ideas.

Food carts...any of them
