Read MoreFriday Five: June Beer Festivals
If there are two things that Portlanders love, they are sunshine and beer. We have the most breweries per capita in the country, and we pack the warm months full of fun festivals and events. We combine our two greatest loves with countless beer festivals during the summer- you could probably find one every weekend if you try hard enough!

The perfect white sangria, made even better with champagne.
Read MorePortland City Grill
I've always loved Portland City Grill, a fantastic restaurant 30 floors up in Downtown Portland. Their menu features classic NW cuisine with a slight Asian touch, and everything on their menu is delicious and perfectly prepared.
Read MoreHigh Tea at the Heathman
The Heathman Hotel in Portland is known for their tea, and it is especially popular at Christmas time, when the hotel is decked out in decorations and you can enjoy your tea next to a blazing fire. Our experience was on one of the last days of summer, but it was definitely still every bit as beautiful!

If you haven't been to Departure, you are missing out! Portland isn't known for their rooftop bars (although this is changing), but Departure is located high above the city and offers amazing views of Portland. With two outdoor decks (one for dinner service, the other a designated bar with a delicious happy hour), as well as a full indoor restaurant, the views cannot be missed

Stop 1: Lucky Lab
Lucky Lab has multiple locations in Portland, but my favorite is located right in my hood, on 19th and Quimby. My favorite aspect is the great outdoor patio, which encourages customers to bring their furry friends for a beer and pizza. I love getting to see all the dogs, and the atmosphere is the perfect spot to hang out with a group of friends on a sunny day.
Bite of Oregon
The Bite is always one of my favorite events of the year in Portland, combining two of my favorite things- socializing and eating!
