Twenty years ago, a guide to Portland [1] dining wouldn’t even have included a section on Northeast Portland [2]. However, the influx of Portland’s DIY youth culture has turned once-sleepy Northeast neighborhoods into hotbeds of cuisine. Linked to downtown by MAX light-rail trains and near the Lloyd Center hotels, the area along NE Broadway [3] is the hub of close-in Northeast Portland.
Other Northeast Portland destinations for diners looking for inexpensive yet cutting-edge food are North Mississippi Avenue [4] and NE Alberta Street [5]. Out past the Hollywood neighborhood along Sandy Boulevard is the heart of today’s Vietnamese community, where you’ll find inexpensive and delicious pho and other Southeast Asian specialties.
