I went to that donut place that is a brand in itself. Kind of over hyped. Wish I spent the hour plus waiting in line at the technical branch of that Valhalla of book stores.
In case anyone tries to look this up, the standalone Powell's technical book store is now closed and has been merged into the main store on Burnside (mostly located on the top floor).
I suppose it says something about the city that I'm pretty sure "that ice cream spot everyone loves" is Salt & Straw on NW 23rd. The line there is always ridiculous and there's other great local ice cream places within a 10-minute walk throughout downtown.
