Best of the Best
Emailed on the 1st: Mucca Osteria
1022 SW Morrison; Downtown; 503.227.5521
From a boot-gent who "arrived in the US with $1800, a gym bag, and no English" (pretty much ensuring he'd never be a pro billiards player), Mucca's an airy, split-level, MAX-side, mid-swank riff on a comfort food-slinging osteria, with a wall of windows illuminating an open kitchen preparing loads of fresh pasta & seriously sauced meats for both lunch and dinner.
Hit the link for a look at Mucca's lunch and dinner menus, and thrill at the fact you can grab good pasta right off the MAX before you hit the theater. Your dates may talk to you now!

Emailed on the 20th: The Modern Man Barbershop and Gentleman's Supply
5018 NE 22nd; Northeast; 503.284.6008
From two tatted-up biz partners, Modern's a full-service, throwback tonsorial parlor falling somewhere between To Kill a Mockingbird and Deadwood, where dudes can get a drink, a cut, and a smoke beneath the gaze of taxidermy in confines that smell of old leather from ancient masonic lounge chairs, and sound like the 1920s thanks to single-tubed radios pumping out jazz, who figured they'd better do something during this damn lockout.
Swing on by this link to get details and see a crazy ugly dude get transformed into an upstanding gent right before your very eyes

Emailed on the 23rd: Mac!
3936 N Mississippi; North; 503.200.5787
Cooked up after the better half of a comfort food-loving duo was laid off from her gig as an HR consultant, Mac! is a bright temple of elbow noodles and melty cheese, clever variations on which're served in cheery confines where yellow walls sport an astonishing rotating collection of vintage lunchboxes featuring a '60s Superman, a gun-toting John Rambo, and a 'Hoffed Knight Rider, which presumably formerly had many, many cheeseburgers in it.

Emailed on the 16th: Lamar Exciting Audio Project
The bass-y baby of an eccentric local DJ and artist as comfortable on the 1s and 2s as he is on the circular saw (despite that sounding quite painful), LEAP creates angular, futuristic, handmade speakers and boomboxes that range in application from pro studio mixing, to amateur stereo blasting, to beach listening -- hold those ones up to your ear, and you can sometimes hear the Billy Ocean.
Even "Follow Me Down" by the Gin Blossoms probably sounds great on these things! Hit the link, see how they're made, and marvel at an equally exciting haircut.

Emailed on the 7th: The Backwoods
6637 SE Milwaukie; Southeast; 503.890.0408
Funeral-house-turned-event-space The Woods built out their crematorium (yay, crematoriums!) to create the tiny Backwoods, which offers a moonshine-stillhouse atmosphere in addition to the gas line and smoke hood of its previous incarnation, and will allow you to celebrate the fact that you're not yet ashes in a coffee can from Ralph's while enjoying classic 'tails like Sazeracs and eventual eats from Perierra Creperie.
