For an extremely special Portland favorite, try the oyster's hash. It's surprisingly amazing at 10am.
Description:
The corner location of this place is good for the morning line. Try going around 8am to beat the rush or the sleep-in crowd that approaches at 12:30pm or later. Once you finally get your food, you will know why the place is packed. The muffins are good with coffee for breakfast while the salads are a solid choice for lunch. Beer and wine are available. Most menu items are less than $8. The atmosphere is bright with large windows that open up the place.

The Saturday Market is one of the best spots to spend a weekend morning in Portland. It is deceiving however; the Saturday Market actually takes place on both Saturday and Sunday.
Description:
The Saturday Market is a great place to explore the local arts and crafts of Portland. From homemade soaps to glassblowers, this craft fair is one of the most unique on the West Coast. HOURS: Sa 10a-5p and Su 11a-4:30p.

It's fun, interesting, and educational. What could be better?

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, or the OMSI as locals call it, has a multitude of educational fun for those interested in life science, chemistry, and earth sciences. Don't forget to check out the traveling exhibits, and visit the awe-inspiring planetarium, the Omnimax Theater, and a submarine you can walk through. The OMSI is great fun for the whole family!

Description:
Next door to a real patisserie, this actual house offers well-made food and a wide selection of local beers. The house is small but there is a spacious deck and patio as well as the entire side and back yard. Most summer nights, you'll find a mellow, house party atmosphere. Dogs and kids are allowed, but remain mostly under control. The food is far better than your average pub fare, with carnivorous and vegetarian fare sharing equal billing. However, when it's dry, the nightly backyard barbecue can't be beat.
