The Vibrant Kerns Hood - East Burnside and more

In this Portland food tour, we will explore the charming streets of the Kerns neighborhood where we will sample some of the tastiest bites that Portland has to offer. This once sleepy neighborhood has blossomed into a Portland bazaar for diverse and delicious treats. Our five stops will create a varied and scrumptious meal and whet your appetite for what the Kerns has to offer. Examples include ethnic contributions such as Jaliscan and Bretagne food, a visit to an eclectic outdoor food hall, charcuterie, and dessert from an artisanal ice cream shop.. You will not leave hungry! While the Kerns extends more broadly, its core is centered on Restaurant Row, on NE 28th between Burnside and Glisan St. We will walk a total of 1.3 miles through tree lined streets and hipster hangouts while we visit six foodie hot spots in the Kerns neighborhood. Along the way we will also talk about the history of the Kerns and take in some classical Portland residential architecture. All ages welcome.

   Our first stop is a colorful Cuban restaurant. The food is fun and the stories are real. The other places will be discovered as we walk through the hood.

   Pod 28

   30 min

   Visit a food cart, which is tucked away in the Kerns hood. It's a real hidden gem and depending on the day, we'll be enjoying either Korean fried chicken, or savory crepes and lavender lemonade. There is even a Beer Bus (yes, a bus with beer on draft coming out the side) on the premises.
