I've been there before, but I'd appreciate any ideas. For dining, I'd
like to stick to places $20.- or less for the 2 of us for breakfast/
lunch and $30.- is for 2 at dinner. Thanks all! :-)

You might want to check out the "Cheap Eats" section of Willamette Week.
http://www.willametteweek.com/editorial/3221/7377/ I'd have to agree with
their picks of carts, judging by the three on their list I've tried...
how does $5 a meal strike you?

Oh, and one of my favorite restaurants downtown is Al Amir... $32 for
a couple of mazas (I'd suggest chicken, my husband would suggest sliced
lamb rather than the lamb kebab)....

In terms of things to do, the 20-mile drive along the Columbia River Highway
just outside Portland is a must. Read

As for dining, you definitely have to try the Original Pancake House for
breakfast.

Lastly, you should splurge one time for dinner and try the Ringside
Steakhouse.

Okay, the original pancake house is on my list as I love potato
pancakes. I'll see if we can work the Ringside Steakhouse into the
budget. Thanks Cesar. :-)
