Hawthorne

From the bridge all the way to Mount Tabor, Hawthorne Boulevard ambles across southeast Portland with a laid-back charm. Once a hippie haven, Hawthorne still has a counter-culture vibe — even with the few shiny, multi-story apartment buildings that have sprouted up recently. Walk past those, and you’ll find a funky collection of brunch spots, bars, vintage stores, the prerequisite coffee shop or two, and much more.

Powell’s City of Books downtown may get the spotlight, and all the tourists, but don’t sleep on the independent bookseller’s Hawthorne location. It’s much bigger than it looks from the storefront, with over 200,000 new and used books, plus games and gifts. Handwritten staff recommendations dot the shelves, great for finding a new favorite author or two. And a book store wouldn’t be complete without a coffee corner, a little reading space.
