Traveling to Portland, OR. Any recommendations?

Any MMM readers who have recommendations for things to do, see, eat and drink in Portland, OR? I'll be traveling there next month for a conference and spending a few additional days exploring. Thanks in advance!

Totally depends on what you like! Hiking? Arts? Shopping? Food? There's lots around, so narrowing it down helps =) Also, of course, budget levels.
Personally I'm all about nature and food. So I recommend:
Forest Park, council crest is a fun hike
Coffee: heart, coava, case study
Donuts: blue star, Pip's
Burgers: dick's burgers, tilt
Food carts: nong's khao man gai (get the chicken skin if you're there early enough!), frying scotsman, el taco yucateco, 808 grinds
Misc: The ReBuild Center in Mississippi neighborhood, Lodeka bus, Collage stationary, the zoo is pretty cool but super busy on nice days/the weekends/summer

If you like nature, there is the Rose Garden and my personal favorite, the Lan Su Chinese Garden.

Thanks so much!! I too am about nature and food. I had a few hikes that I've read up on and otherwise just planning to take in the food/brewery scene. Will definitely check out a couple of these recs.

Oh! Breweries are a good one too. I recommend:
-Bridgeport is really beautiful, but on the spendy side. Rogue has great beer but their food is meh IMO. Reverend Nat's is exceptional cider and a super cool space. Widmer and the widmer tour are fantastic. Rontom's has a really cool outdoor space- it's not a brewery, but it's still a good visit.
I also second the rose gardens recc. Japanese gardens if you're willing to spend the money. While over there, I recommend stopping by Zupan's market. The food displays are gorgeous.
uwajimaya is good too. They have some killer bao.
