Gay Portland
- Downtown Portland – This neighborhood has recently gone through a complete renaissance and has been established as an LGBTQ enclave in the city. Downtown is a buzzing and vibrant area with indie shops selling local brands, creative dining, and eclectic food trucks.
- The main gay districts had been downtown around SW Harvey Milk Street (formerly Stark Street) and in Old Town around NW Davis and NW 3rd with other places of interest across the river, including NW Broadway, SE Stark and NE Sand. Neighborhoods along SE Belmont and SE Hawthorn are pleasant to browse, with lots of charming shops and restaurants. Some retain remnants of 60s counterculture that have all but disappeared elsewhere in America.
- Pearl District – This is a former industrial section of Portland that now booms with commerce and art. This district is often called “fashionable” and “lively” and is the prime shopping destination in the city. From hip brands to indie boutiques and warehouse spaces, it’s the cool neighborhood
