With some time now under its belt, Trader Vic’s can now say that it’s off to a good start at it’s new Pearl District location at 12th and Glisan. Walls that open to let the Portland summer in, a good array of outdoor seating, and a unique flavor all its own have made the restaurant and bar a popular place for lunch, dinner, and drinks.
“We’re impressed”, we were told by Lisa and Beverly, dining outside on a recent Tuesday evening, “it’s a fun atmosphere and the service has been very good.”
At a time when more businesses are reporting difficulties and layoffs, it’s good to see a new business open and flourish here in our neck of the woods.

Portland’s unique Sunday Parkways event rolled through the Pearl and Downtown Portland 
yesterday, drawing thousands of cyclists, as well as walkers, runners, strollers and shoppers.
Sunday Parkways is organized by the Portland Bureau of Transportation with its many community partners, including Portland Parks & Recreation.
“This year, we’re including more neighborhoods and making each Sunday Parkways longer in response to supportive feedback,” Mayor Sam Adams said. “The event has become a highlight of the summer for many Portlanders, and we’re looking forward to including more neighbors in the fun.”
“For years I’ve enjoyed the many health benefits of walking for exercise, so I’m excited and proud that Kaiser Permanente Northwest is once again a partner in the City’s Sunday Parkways program,” said Sue Hennessy, Vice President, Strategic Planning & Health Plan Services. “It’s a true community event that celebrates and encourages Total Health. That’s what our organization is all about, so it’s a perfect fit.”
There is one Sunday Parkways event remaining this summer, on September 5th in Northeast Portland. See portlandonline.com for more.
