of wild beasts, such as raptors, lynx, otters<br />
and eagles. A new exhibit called High Desert<br />
Dreams—The Lost Homesteads of the Fort<br />
Rock Basin, is a stunning black-and-white<br />
photography portfolio not to miss.<br />
Grab a bite at Primal Cuts on Galveston<br />
Avenue, where you’ll find choice cuts of<br />
locally raised meats in tasty variations from<br />
charcuterie boards to tortas with housemade<br />
carnitas. Or go al fresco on the back deck of the<br />
small neighborhood tavern, Brother Jon’s across<br />
the street. A little farther east on Galveston is<br />
Sunriver Brewing, a nice atmosphere with good<br />
beer and food. Options abound on Galveston.<br />
If you’re in town during BendFilm, the<br />
theaters are still hopping with film shorts and<br />
features. If you time your visit for <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />
21-22, you will stumble into Bend’s Oktoberfest,<br />
a booming festival that shuts streets down to<br />
cars and opens them to music stages, the Bend<br />
Beer Choir, wiener dog races, food carts and, of<br />
course, local craft brews.<br />
If Oktoberfest isn’t happening, try the Crater<br />
Lake Spirits tasting room on Bond Street. This<br />
small-batch distiller has won awards for its gins<br />
and vodkas made in its distillery in Tumalo, just<br />
outside Bend. Or pop over to the Old Mill for<br />
Walla Walla-made wine at Va Piano Vineyards<br />
tasting room. While you’re in the Old Mill<br />
District, remember the things you don’t have<br />
at home and stop for rare spices from around<br />
the world and, of course, REI for your next<br />
camping or skiing odyssey.<br />
Joolz, with its Mediterranean-infused menu,<br />
is a good place to end the night. Chef Ramsey<br />
Hamdan brings his Beirut childhood to plates<br />
in Bend. Share small plates of hummus, baba<br />
ghanouj, kibbe and lamb kebabs. Try the Beirut<br />
cocktail, a whiskey and lemon concoction that<br />
sets everything right.<br />
Try like hell to save room for Bonta gelato,<br />
just a stroll down the street. Flavors from<br />
India and Zanzibar permeate the shop and<br />
are incorporated into some of the dozenplus<br />
flavors.<br />
If you’ve targeted the BendFilm weekend,<br />
be sure to finish strong with a Sunday show<br />
that transports you to another world before<br />
reentering your own—remembering the words<br />
of Robin Williams from Dead Poets Society,<br />
“Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your<br />
lives extraordinary.”<br />
