There's a line down the block for a reason. There's ice cream, and then there's salt and straw. They've got all the usual flavors, and then some creative ones, like pear+bleu cheese, lavender, and olive oil. Local tip: you can skip to the front of the line if you buy a pre-packed pint ;-)

On the top floor of the shmancy Nines Hotel downtown, this is an iron-chef Japanese-inspired restaurant with an airplane theme (except it's actually awesome), stunning views of the city, and uh-amazing food. It's the one place in Portland that feels like LA, so don't wear your pajamas here unless you want to get looked up and down.
