365 Things To Do In Portland, Oregon

Have you ever gone to a big box movie theater and wanted to bring a beer in?  Have you wanted to replace the fake cheese nachos with some actual food? Here's the solution for you.  Living Room Theaters in SW Portland's West End neighborhood.  

Living Room Theaters was created by long time filmmakers who wanted to reinvent how films are viewed and enjoyed.  At this innovative theater, you can order REAL food and REAL drinks.  I had a Philadelphia style panini sandwich and a glass of Erath Pinot Gris, which I took into the theater and enjoyed as I watched the film.  Such a nice way to enjoy a move night.  It felt like I was sitting at home watching a movie on the couch, but I was sitting in Living Room Theater's big cushy seats... 

With a nice mix of independent and documentary films as well as features you'd find in the more traditional theaters, you're bound to find something playing at Living Room Theaters that will suit you.  They're open as a restaurant from 11:30am every day of the week.. Definitely a cool place to stop for a quick bite!

From time to time, everyone needs a little break from life to enjoy some peace and experience tranquility.  People living in the Portland, Oregon area are lucky to have one of the most authentic traditional Chinese gardens outside of China right here in our backyard.

Once you step past the entry gates, you're transported into another world and another time.  Traditionally styled and crafted buildings encircle a beautiful lake, and are connected by paths and bridges.  You can wander from building to building, rest overlooking the water, or enjoy some authentic Chinese tea and teacakes tea in the two story tea house that is within the garden.

Even if you can only spare an hour or two, you will leave Lan Su Chinese Garden feeling calm and refreshed.  (And wanting to go back again!)  

The Lan Su Chinese Garden is open to visitors seven days a week year-round, closing only on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
