Pick up a Spanish coffee or a turkey dinner to go. Huber’s is Portland’s oldest restaurant, open since 1879, and known for pouring Spanish coffee right at your table. Grab a drink or a light bite here before heading to the park.
16:41
Walk west to Mill Ends Park. This tiny patch of grass holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest park in the world, created satirically as a leprechaun colony and racetrack for snails. Arrive here as the sun begins its descent toward the WSW.
16:53
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting golden light over the downtown skyline and the Willamette River. Enjoy the brief moment of evening calm before the night fully sets in.
17:13
Head to Luc Lac for dinner. Just a short walk from the park, this counter-service Vietnamese restaurant serves fresh pho, rice bowls, and sandwiches. It is open for dinner from 4 PM to 11 PM every day, making it a perfect spot to warm up after the chill of the waterfront sunset.
