Garden Harvest Dinners at Fratelli
by pearlgirl
Tim's Garden Harvest Dinners Begin Tuesday, Aug. 29
Tim's garden is at its peak and we can't wait to share the incredible organic bounty with you. Beginning Tuesday, August 29th, Fratelli will feature an additional Garden Harvest Dinner menu created spontaneously from the day's harvest. Next week you will be enjoying fresh arugula, summer squash, blackberries, figs, mint, basil, and more basil! We will continue the Garden Harvest Dinners on Tuesdays until we've had our fill of heirloom tomatoes. But is that really possible?
Also we are very pleased to announce our new private dining room. Fratelli is working with Laura Sydney Gallery next door to the restaurant host custom private dining events where up to 18 guests are seated together at a single table surrounded by work from Portland's finest artists. So whether you are impressing the boss with a formal business dinner, celebrating with friends in a true "Big Night" fashion, or planning a simple cocktail an

Life of Riley Tavern
by pearlgirl
This review is courtesy of Food Dude and Suds Sister at Portland Food and Drink :
a comfortable neighborhood place
Kick off those Manolos girls, and take off those ties gentlemen, because the Pearl’s got a new laid-back bar. Life of Riley Tavern opened just about a month ago in the old Jimmy Mak’s location. Our group of six Suds Brothers and Sisters visited the other day, and here’s a quick hit based on that one visit.
In case you don’t notice from the relaxed vibe of the crowd, the menu has the Tavern’s mission statement all spelled out, “Life of Riley: The good life; a comfortable existence.” And that’s the feeling you get when you walk in. It’s a neighborhood bar, just in the wrong neighborhood.
They didn’t do much in the way of remodeling, but it’s amazing what a good cleaning and a coat of paint has done for the old Mak hole. They have a few shaded tables outside. Inside, it’s comfy, with tables and booths and a couple of couches

whistlin' dixie
by pearlgirl
I love how some of our neighbors think the romance and character of the neighborhood will be lost, if there were no high-pitched shrills at 3 am, courtesy of a bitter conductor.
I've even heard some compare it to the fog horns of the Bay area. some have labled those of us who would like to have some peace and quiet as selfish, and asked us to move to the suburbs, if we don't like it.
that one's my favorite.
Here's my unabashed thoughts on the Hell Express:
we live in a residential neighborhood. it may not be zoned as such right now, but it should be, and it will be.
we deserve to have peace and quiet at 3 am, just like the poeple in Sellwood or Beaverton. Notice that i didn't say peace and quiet around the clock , and note that i won't be sitting on my porch with a shotgun, telling them 'damn kids to git off ma'lawn'. i don't want the semis to stop using their airbrakes, or for the bars to shut down early either. i just need to ge

Like Chocolate?
by pearlgirl
If you like chocolate, you'll love Sweet Masterpiece . Located behind Sushi Land at 10th and Davis. You can buy gourmet chocolates from around the world in the chocolate marketplace or eat in the chocolate cafe. They serve desserts, wine, coffee-- anything that pairs well with chocolate.
Stop by and say hello... it can be done, even with a mouthful of candy! ;-)
