Description:
If you're on a budget, you're in luck; so is most of Portland. Portlanders pride themselves on little work and tons of play, so most places you visit will be very affordable. The cheapest neighborhood by far is the Southeast, and for a surprisingly good meal, try out the food carts all over Portland! Most of them use organic and local produce in their fare.
