Nestled among the subjects of the usual food-cart raves is Anna, who whips up Vietnamese specialties both beautiful and delicious. Six dollars will buy you any one of a selection of huge sandwiches/plates, and here both veggies and carnivores can find their bliss. Mine came in the form of a heaping platter of pho with juicy pork, carrots, cilantro and a subtle peanut infusion. Superb!

Young and lively fashion designer Sarah Bibb offers her own locally stitched creations as well as a selection of pieces from other designers of national renown. The emphasis is on beautiful, not fussy: the best of retro combined with ethically sourced and easy to wear. Her pieces drape well and work for so many different occasions.

The boutique, FOLLY, is very aptly named; even the accessories are consistently lovely and playful. The atmosphere is a bit retro, a bit romantic, a bit erotic…and THE CONSUMMATE WORDSMITH is very pleased to say that copies of body English can now be found among FOLLY’s offerings.

Take a generous supply of Portland’s creative and entrepreneurial minds, put them in beautiful bodies of every age and description, and mix them well with local moms and dads and little ones, stakeholders all in our flourishing community and its sustainable cultural development…

Now serve them delicious coffee, fragrant chai, bagels toasted to perfection, light lunches and pastries of the sort you don’t realize you need until you lay eyes on them. Provide space and light and hundreds of ways to get comfy and music that gently delights without ever disturbing. Open your space to seminal cultural events and community happenings while remaining a daily sanctuary for those who want to work quietly and still be somewhere…

Tempted yet? Urban Grind NE, 2214 NE Oregon St. (just north of 22nd and Sandy), Portland 97232, invites you to please ALL of your senses. To this end, copies of body English are available for sale directly at the coffeehouse.

Sip and take a wild ride.
