Portland, Oregon, carts, coffee and Powell's.

Arrive with an afternoon at Powell's and a cart lunch, walk Forest Park slowly, and head out to Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, keeping to main eastside streets at night.

Eat alone: eastside cart pods, brunch, Stumptown, Heart and Coava coffee.

See: the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Division, Mount Hood and Cannon Beach.

Feel safe: nothing left in the car, and Burnside blocks skipped after dark.
