Favorite places in Portland

We've been here more than a month now and I thought I'd share with you a brief list of our favorite places in the area so far.

Silver Falls Park, about 90 minutes southeast of here, is a beautiful waterfall park. We had a really nice wet hike there a few weeks ago, and I imagine that it's insanely pretty and refreshing in the summer.

Apizza Scholls makes some of the best pizza I've had anywhere. This includes New York, Italy, and other places in Europe. They're known as "Portland's Pizza Nazi" for their strict rules - no take-out, no delivery, 3-topping limit, open 5-9 pm - and crazy popularity combined with delicious pies. You usually end up waiting about an hour for your food, but you can't blame them - at 4:30 on a Saturday, there's a line of people in front of the small shop.

We've only gone to Jimmy Mak's once, but it left an impression. It's a classy jazz club downtown, and the music was surprisingly good.

I've also only been to Movie Madness once, but boy am I going back. I thought video stores were dinosaurs until I saw the crazy selection here, coupled with quite recognizable movie memorabilia crowding the walls.

That's all for now. So tell us, what are we missing?
