While it would seem that many Portlanders will be crowded around the biggest flat screen and bowl of cheese dip they can find this Sunday, I think this week's issue provides some compelling reasons to step away from the television! There are great deals, some new businesses and a reminder that you might want to start thinking about NEXT weekend now - Valentines Day is right around the corner!
For those who loved Lovely Hula Hands on Mississippi, there is a new treat to try. Now open just down the street in the new, sustainable Numiss building is Lovely's Fifty-Fifty. Owners Sarah and Jane Minnick now offer a mouth-watering menu of salads, bites and wood-fired pizzas. How do gene’s beets with blood oranges, avocado, cilantro and calabrian chilies sound? Anything with calabrian chilies sounds good to me! They also do take out. Open Tuesday- Sunday, 5-10 pm. *EDITORIAL POST
