Neighborhood highlights

Commonly known as “Foodie Row,” the Hawthorne/Buckman District places you within walking distance of a wide variety of top-notch local flavors—no chain restaurants here! This vibrant area boasts a Powell's bookstore, Blue Star Donuts, music venues, and much more. Make new friends over vegan poutine fries and grilled PB&Js at the Cartopia food cart pod, get messy with wings at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or enjoy a fancy night out at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch. But Portland isn't just for foodies. The vibrant indie spirit thrives in Hawthorne, with numerous made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore in this hipster haven. Catch a movie at the Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue serving local McMenamins food and microbrews. If bar hopping through neighborhoods isn’t your idea of fun, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent, where you’ll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city. To truly experience Portland, this is the area you need to stay in! Enjoy the perfect blend of culinary delights, local culture, and natural beauty in the Hawthorne/Buckman District.
