Date Night at Acadia: A New Orleans Bistro

Filed in: Reviews

1303 NE Fremont St & 13th • AcadiaPDX.com • 503.249.5001

Hours: Mon-Sat 5-10pm; Lunch on Wed 11:30am-2:30pm

If for some reason you’re talking with me and can’t think of a conversation topic, just ask me about food. I can chat your ear off. I pretty much spend all day reading, talking or thinking about food.

IZZE Friendsday Night with Expatriate and Beast

Filed in: Events, Reviews

The other day I received an email from Chloe of Little Green Pickle inviting me to “A Spark of Spring on Friendsday Night” at 8pm last Wednesday at the Eastside Exchange Rooftop. The description was brief, there would be “bites from Chef Naomi Pomeroy of Beast, original cocktails from mixologist Kyle Webster of Expatriate, and upbeat songs from Fort Atlantic, all while sipping on some IZZE Sparkling Juice.”
