Neighborhood: Division & Clinton

When Portlanders wax ecstatic about what a precious, unique flower our city is, we usually offer up Hawthorne or Mississippi as proof. (read more) However, the neighborhoods that most embody Portlandness are those lovely streets where houses, industry, classy retail and restaurants comfortably rub shoulders. Case in point: Division and Clinton streets, where some of the city’s best restaurants—top-notch Thai joint Pok Pok and Whiskey Soda Lounge (3326 SE Division St., 232-1387), classy comfort-food stalwart Savoy Tavern (2500 SE Clinton St., 808-9999) and Lauro Kitchen (3377 SE Division St., 239-7000), David Machado’s Mediterranean gem—share blocks with Lambretta-dealing Ptown Scooters (3347 SE Division St., 241-4745) and the Village Merchants resale shop (3360 SE Division St., 234-6343). Swill drinks at swanky Victory (3652 SE Division St., 236-8755) or lesbian nightspot The Egyptian Club (3701 SE Division St., 236-8689), and catch a flick at the masterfully curated Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton St., 238-8899) or the flesh-tastic Oregon Theater (3530 SE Division St., 232-7469), where a raincoat is a must to fit in with the crowd. Aaah, sweet harmony. —Ben Waterhouse.

The veritable patisserie pageant hits its heights with the Saint Honore;, a caramelized cream puff; the Ménage à Trois (almond cream, chocolate ganache and a dusting of pistachios); the lemon-loving tart citron; and a deceptively simple housemade vanilla ice cream. Sadly the Dobos torte (rich in layers of marzipan, hazelnut, etc.) never quite tastes as good as it looks. On the savory side, the peaty goat cheese-onion tart is fantastic; the panini (ham and fontina, pepper and artichoke) are a good bet; or marcona almonds, olives and brioche can be just as satiating. Perfect for midday, a late-night treat, or with family, and whether delving into their extensive selection of Belgian beers, dessert wines or moscato, always finish with the crème brûlée. (TD)

CURRENTLY TAKING THANKSGIVING ORDERS: Pix Desserts


Bring a little ooh la la to the table with dessert from Pix Patisserie. The traditional pumpkin pie gets a cheesecake makeover with a spiced pecan crust ($24-$32) while the pecan pie goes glam with the addition of Spanish almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and bittersweet chocolate chips (The Nutcracker, $28-$34). Most intriguing? The Macaroon Cornucopia: “Four dozen colorful French macaroons in assorted flavors overflow an edible cornucopia of caramelized almonds.” And that’d be an $85 wow. Pix on Division will be open for pickups 9 am-noon on Thanksgiving. Pix Patisserie, 3402 SE Division St., 232-4407.
