5.0 out of 5 stars great guide to Portland, March 7, 2003

By	C. Hill (Oregon, U.S.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Portland, 2nd (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

Whether you live in Portland or are visiting for an extended time or have just moved, this is an excellent guide to the Rose City. Everything from shopping, restaurants, recreation, sites of interest, etc. You name it, this book covers it. Want to find a new place to go out to dinner? Look here. Want to figure out where to take a visiting friend from out of town? Look here. This is an excellent guide to all aspects of living, working, and playing in Portland. The one shortcoming this book has is that it has very limited coverage of the surrounding metro area. If it's not in Portland, it's probably not in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Visitor's Guide!!, July 8, 2003

By	Psboston7 "~ And so it Goes ~" (Upland, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Portland, 2nd (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

I recently visited Portland for the Fourth of July weekend and this book along with {Best Places Portland} were my constant companion. Extensive information regarding EVERYTHING from Shopping, Restaurants, Lodging to detailed information on each neighborhood.

If you are looking to visit Portland and need a Visitor Guide, Grab your highlighter! and get a map. I carried this one with me constantly. The only flaw I could find in this one is that it didn't seperate the restaurants by Meal Type ie; Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Bad To Say About This Book At All, August 17, 2006

By	Penny Dreadful (Under Your Skin) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

In a nice pleasant format this guide delivers what it promises, describes what's to be seen, where to go, what to expect, and helps you get around in Portland. Should be a memorable trip. Can't wait.
