Art, Color and Fun Paint, wallpaper and accessories transform a West Slope home to reflect vibrant family life written by Melissa Dalton WHEN SUZY and Jonas Greenberg were looking for a new home for their family of five, they didn’t want a big project that would require knocking down walls or gutting rooms. So, finding this 1959 house in West Slope, a suburb of Portland, was a perfect match. The previous homeowners had already done all of the dusty work of remodeling, updating key rooms without robbing the home of its mid-century charm.

GLOBAL FLAVORS e Th
OF PORTLAND
In America’s darling of the dining scene, the world lands on your fork written by Julie Lee
WHEN THE CULINARY SCENE in Portland amped up in the early 2000s, the keystone to international recognition was flavorful dishes that chefs created which were ingenious to anywhere but the Northwest. The secret to the recipe, though, was the collective passion to source local ingredients. Of the more renowned chefs, Andy Ricker became internationally famous for what he could do with a chicken wing. Pok Pok was one of the first of many foodie favorites that started as a food truck, garnered international acclaim, and put Portland front and center on the gastronomic map for occasional diners and food snobs alike. In the pandemic’s wake, the restaurant industry has suffered dearly, with decades of hard work and fame wiped out. While Portland lost some renowned chefs including Ricker, many food carts, restaurants and marketplaces are making it—serving up homage to heritage, offering a globe’s worth of authentic, diverse dishes. And that’s cause for celebration. Here’s an invitation to the party. Consider this an amuse bouche—hardly an exhaustive list. We promise some greats are left for you to discover, too. AT RIGHT At Fish Sauce, send your palate on a trip with, clockwise from top left, chuối chiên; pork bánh mì; bún vermicelli; gỏi cuốn; Botta’s Favorite with grilled shrimp, fried egg, jasmine rice and nước mắm; and the Fortune & Glory cocktail with rum, mint, hibiscus and lime.

Southern Oregon Coast The better season for the hauntingly beautiful Oregon Coast? written by Isabella Golasi
THE OREGON COAST’S other season is the dead of winter. Yes, it may rain a bit here in the late winter months, but with a little planning for weather, you’ll find mild maritime temperatures in the midst of the most hauntingly beautiful scenery Oregon has to offer. All without the summer crowds. The Southern Oregon Coast from Coos Bay south to the California border is home to the towns of Coos Bay, Bandon, Port Orford and Gold Beach among others. They all have three things in common—a direct connection with the Pacific Ocean, remarkable beauty and unexpectedly exceptional restaurants that enhance your coastal experience. Over the next three days, you’ll walk through these places as if in a misty dreamscape.

COOS BAY Working your way down the Southern Oregon Coast, Coos Bay was Oregon’s largest coastal town in the late nineteenth century, when shipbuilding was in demand. Many of the ships that sail out of Coos Bay today are of the smaller commercial fishing variety. One of the top reasons to spend time in Coos Bay is its massive 40-mile span of sand dunes and the photo opps that come with them. Pack a bottle of water, some chocolate and rain gear, and head out along the Umpqua Dunes and the John Dellenback Trail for a 5.4-mile out and back for a great hike. Head out JANUARY | FEBRUARY 2022
