PDX: Park Kitchen, Barista & Stumptown

It's difficult to call a favorite on the coffee front, but I really liked this spot. They offer three daily espressos. I tried two: the Helsar (Costa Rica) & the Heart (Guatemala). Anne had green tea with lemongrass & ginger.

Lunch at Park Kitchen was sublime. We were famished and ordered way too much.

When we were finishing up, the staff was eating their family style meal, which looked delightful. How about those homemade tortillas? I'd like to work here.

After lunch and Barista, Anne walked me to death. We did see a lot of cool stuff. Look at the micro-paper mill located inside the stationary store called Oblation.

I almost forgot we started this day at Stumptown Coffee Roasters in the Ace Hotel.  The espresso's quite good, I think.

Honestly, my hangover was just horrific. I would have liked to have been a bit fresher to give it a critical nod.  That being said, the people watching here was gross.

Tonight we eat at Le Pigeon. Might hit up Beaker and Flask, too. Gluttons for punishment or just plain gluttons?
