A few of my favorite things:
Check out Just Be Toys (which also has the compound gallery) Japanese toys, rare sneaks, art, overpriced Tees, the owner's name is Katsu and a friend of mine. It's on NW5th. http://www.justbedesign.com/ , aroung the corner is Motel: http://www.motelgallery.com/ , Backspace (geeky but funny) http://www.backspace.bz/ and http://www.groundkontrol.com/
Thai /pan asian food: Saucebox http://www.savvydiner.com/details.php?r=846 another great spot within walking is East: I love it there http://www.eastchinatownlounge.com/ For a good dive bar, check out the Tiger Bar: http://portland.citysearch.com/profile/8463314/ , the food is actually not bad either. Sushi: Masu http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile.aspx?rid=4725 Peruvian (if you haven't you should) Andina: http://www.andinarestaurant.com/location.htm , get a drink at Apothke after right upstairs: http://www.apotheke-nw.com/ Also on the West Side NW 23rd has evolved into kind of a yuppie bonanza of outdoor shops, and 21st street a collection of restaurants.
On the East side if you have time, there are some great restaraunts, the Clark Lewis, Gotham Tavern, and Mint are some of my favorites but if you do get over to the East side, 2 spots to see are The Doug Fir http://www.dougfirlounge.com/calendar.html (great place to catch a live show) and The Blue Monk for some local Jazz http://www.thebluemonk.com/history.htm Also on the East Side Hawthorn and Alberta Streets have evolved into nuovo hippy trendy shoppy zones, some good stuff.
Music is great in Portland, I've seen a lot of good DJ's and acts that normally play at bigger spots, in small little venues here, some good spots for music:
