The newest best place in town! It's always packed and they don’t take reservations - but insiders’s tip: if you call and ask nicely, they’ll put you on the wait list over the phone!
They have unique pasta dishes, truly authentic Napoli pizza, a great wine selection, and don't miss the panna cotta - it's unlike anything you've ever had before (and I don't even like panna cotta!)

Located at the corner of 24th and Amazon Parkway, this is the quiet little spot where many famous and not so famous runners train year round. It's a nice, flat, groomed bark trail to get in a quick 3 miles, and people watch.

This is a wonderful day trip. The drive is under 90 mins and the hike is only about 3 miles. You'll see two amazing waterfalls and stunning geology. Drive up old McKenzie Hwy a bit further to check out the lava beds and the look out tower.

A local favorite for a quick hike and breathtaking views. There's also an excellent swimming hole at the base of the mountain, AND if you want a decent run, you can do the 7 mile run around the base.

Wine tasting
There are so many great options for wine tasting. Here are some of our favs.
King Estate is a destination that shouldn't be missed. They used to have a full restaurant, but now it's just wine tasting + light meals like salads and charcuterie. Definitely go. The setting and service are bar none, but you'll need a reservation in advance.

The best track and field facility in the world. It shouldn't be missed. If you can't get in you can see quite a bit just walking around the perimeter. You can also check out U of O campus while you are there.
