We know that you all ran

the Burnside Bridge or
down NE MLK Jr Blvd—to explore
the up-and-coming lower portion
of East Burnside after reading
last month’s neighborhood feature.
Now that you’re thoroughly
familiar with the trendy hub on
the close-in Eastside, let us take
you farther out, to the more
established pocket of Upper
Burnside surrounding the foodiehaven
of NE 28th Ave. It’s the dependable—but
still cute—Betty to
lower Burnside’s trendy Veronica;
the old, loved-in bungalow verses
the shiny new condo; it’s a hip
yet glitz-free enclave, full of all
those things that make it a staple
Portland neighborhood: restaurants
worth driving across town
for, casual bars, quirky shopping
and entertainment galore.
Holman’s (15 SE 28th Ave, 231-1093),
Chopsticks (2651 E Burnside, 234-6171) and the
Laurelhurst Theater (2735 E Burnside, 232-5511,
laurelhursttheater.com)—if you aren’t familiar with
these places, you are certain to end up at one
