Like technology The city, Portland often feels like a lifestyle for wayward engineers. Although about 10 percent of Portland works in Tech, the business area in Stumptown sometimes seems to be hidden, serving as a “free third way” between the lovely ingredients of the north and the south. Portland is a tree-filled place of collision of natural beauty, resting in the shadow of Mount Hood, Oregon’s tallest mountain, and the connection of two rivers.
Most of Portland’s Tech Port military industry is confined to home offices and tree stands, or under tree stands in Weaverton, Hillsboro and Aloha. It’s where Nvidia cofounder Jensen Huang went to high school, and it’s where he planted Nvidia’s Engineering Outpost. Similarly, when a sizable chunk of the American semiconductor and microchip industry has put down roots, including calls from Intel and Microsoft.
This low profile would make Portland a brilliant place to do business. Whatever the headlines of the country from time to time, the city is always a very lively mecca of food and beer and music, and by always dressing that you will continue to walk. It’s also a nerd’s paradise for hacker posts and tech ephemera. Here’s where to stay, and where to go.

Where to stay in Portland
By the grace of Jupiter Next
Just don’t plan on staying in a hotel in the city – the rookie portland moves many executives or developers to regret it. Portland works best where people actually live, in dense business districts full of cafes and restaurants. This is where you’ll find plenty of spas and meeting facilities that make doing business here easy, and saunas and cold tubs make it fun.
The city of Portland is centered on the west side of the Discovery River that maintains the city. But Wired recommends finding a hotel in the western part of the city east across the river from the city, or in the more residential areas outside the city on the west side.

Away from Jupiter the only other stop is the North American location of the Icelandic Post Office Hossol Kex, a place with 28 rooms and private rooms and event spaces.

For a long stay, local sets tell us the popular Marriott’s Residence is a residence on Portland Pearl Street in the northern district of the city, a small kitchen, and an onsite gym and pool. This is a place to stay, and stay ready, while working away from home.
Nearby: The friendly comporming center is a 14-minute walk away. Nearby Jamison Square is a bustling area of UpScale eateries and bars. The neighborhood’s most suspect food comes from Medina’s nationally acclaimed Mexican Chef, Prix-Fixe Republica (Reservations Recommended) and La Carte Cousin, Lalia Comedor.

803 SE Stark St.
I have eaten at many ramen places, from New York to Los Angeles to Tokyo. There are few in the country on Toya’s level, from its shoyu broth to wild modern inventions like ramen carbonara with hand noodles. The menu has Shochu highballs in equal measure.
3808 n Williams Ave.
Akkapong “Earl” Ninson founded many Thai restaurants in Portland that are ranked high in the country, including the descendants of the Prix-Fixe-Fixile Adged Royal Thai Restaurant Langbaan. No one is as unique as EM—the mix of Tiki Cocktail, lightly smoked Texas barbecue, and Thai curry must be inclined to believe. You will order the white curry with Brisket Burnt Ends. And you’ll be talking about it to your friends for years.
960 SE 11th Ave.
There is no restaurant like kachka – a vodka and junk hall dedicated to the food of the former Soviet world. Ask for Ruskie Zakuski, the endless parade of SLAVIC PRAST includes the Kachka icon bright pink “herring under a fur coat” salad. After that order dumplings, from comforting pelmeni to Sour Chelry Vareniki, good caviar with butter and broni, and vodka channels that are included in the restaurant. Prefer seafood? Try the newly opened kachka fabrika spinoff at 2117 and Oregon St.
