Delve deeper into the city with GrassRoutes. Taste that Vietnamese-French sandwich; stay up late and listen to poets read aloud; help weed in a public P-patch and meet some locals; have a splurge dinner made by a chef who grows her own greens. GrassRoutes points you to a new eco-urban adventure that reveals a new look at Portland—a city chock-full of bustling, eccentric neighborhoods.
The travel guidebook category has gotten into a rut with cookie-cutter series galore. GrassRoutes guides do not recycle the same old tired info. The foundation of each guide is the actual experience of the writers—starting with series founder Serena Bartlett. What other guide to a city offers up an annotated listing of places to volunteer, encourages you to take the bus, and directs you to places to find inspiration?
