A Repeat Visit
A trip north to Portland from our home in Southern Oregon always provides the opportunity to check out the culinary scene for which the city is known. While we enjoy visiting places we've never been before, we also like to go back to tried-and-true favorites. Such was the case on our most recent trek to the Rose City, when we dined at clarklewis in the Central Eastside Industrial District. First opened in 2003, the restaurant garnered several accolades right from the start (Best Restaurant of the Year, Oregonian; 10 Most Notable New Restaurants of 2004, The Wall Street Journal; 10 Hottest Restaurants, msn.com) and continues to hold a respected place for its locally sourced, organic, sustainable, seasonal menu in a town where it seems every restaurant makes those claims.

Why Japan Is Best Explored by Sea with Princess
Japan is a destination that rewards repeat visits because no two regions — or seasons — feel quite the same. One moment, you’re wandering through centuries-old geisha districts in Kanazawa. The next, you’re watching neon reflections dance across Tokyo streets long after midnight.
On a Lobster Roll
When in Boston, it is always nice to have a yummy lobster roll. This was my thought when I saw the special at Durgin-Park.
