Neighborhood: Downtown

Like a cross between a copper candelabra and a four-way candy dish, they stand every couple of blocks downtown and tend to puzzle newcomers. (read more) Can I drink it? Hell yes! Those are Benson Bubblers, pushing up fresh drinking water for the masses since 1917. The iconic fountains—52 in all, plus 74 one-bowl variations—are a reminder of what makes Portland’s downtown lovable. While it’s still the center of political and financial power, it remains a livable place where you can find quiet street corners (sometimes a little too quiet for a major city) and, yes, a free sip of water. To get the lay of the land, gaze down from the 30th floor of the U.S. Bancorp Tower (lovingly dubbed “Big Pink”) during happy hour at Portland City Grill (111 SW 5th Ave., 450-0030, portlandcitygrill.com). Downtown’s heart beats at Pioneer Courthouse Square (Southwest 6th Avenue and Morrison Street). Culture-heads and foodies should make for the South Park Blocks, home to the Portland Art Museum (1219 SW Park Ave., 226-2811, portlandartmuseum.org) and the Portland Farmers Market (Southwest Park Avenue between Harrison and Montgomery Streets, portlandfarmersmarket.org) every Saturday from March 21 to Dec. 19. And for the terminally lazy, the MAX Green Line opens this fall, connecting Portland State University and Old Town’s Union Station. —James Pitkin

This was a freaking blast! The food was excellent and the actors even better. I laughed so hard I cried...and I didn't want to even go in the first place. My wife dragged me their for our anniversary! After having so much fun, I'm bringing more people to see the same show and you can bet when their new show is up in Sept, I'll be back for it and every show they put up. Awesome evening and well worth the price!

Went for our office party. They even came to us for the party in Lake Oswego. We had so much fun. We kept hearing the jokes from the show all week. People are still talking about it. Food was excellent. We'll absolutley book them again for our next event.

I've not been to one of the shows as I'm a visitor to PDX. The food in this little restaurant, however, is outstanding.
