Eat Well, Support Women: Celebrate National Women’s Month with a night out at a woman-owned restaurant. We recommend Terra Mae, inside the popular Cascada Thermal Springs + Hotel, the long-loved Mother’s Bistro in downtown Portland, the bright bubblegum pink Champagne Poetry on Northwest 23rd, and Montavilla’s popular Lebanese haunt, Ya Hala. And check in on Resy’s updated Women of Food series here.
Cherry Blossom Time:Come spring, head to the Japanese American Historical Plaza in Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the river for some of the best cherry blossom blooms in the city. After snapping your fill of springtime photos, pop over to nearby Bamboo Sushi, Bistro Alder or just-across-the-river Clarklewis for a post-photo shoot meal.
