Neighborhood restaurants have that innate appeal.
They don’t even have to be special, though it helps if they are. Though any restaurant along any street in Portland could be considered a neighborhood place, I define one as this: within the density of a residential neighborhood is the anomalous eatery nestled into the streetscape of row houses, apartment buildings and single family homes. A perfect example of the genre is Lolita, a dining focal point of Munjoy Hill’s continuing gentrification.
