sellwood
Historic Sellwood is a vibrant and thriving
section of southeast Portland that hasn't lost touch with its old village
roots. Originally incorporated as an independent city complete with
saloons, blacksmith shops, hotels and a hospital, this area was finally
annexed to the city of Portland in 1893. In today's Sellwood, it isn't
hard to imagine how things might have been at the turn of the century.
Antiques are the name of the game here, with everything from high-end to
rustic - with a dash of kitsch thrown in for good measure. Dozens of
dealers operate from Victorian homes, rescued storefronts and even the
occasional antique mall. Stars Antiques brings together dozens of
independent dealers in three separate Sellwood locations. Restaurants and
cafes dot the landscape between shops, making it the perfect place for a
leisurely Sunday afternoon tour or a romantic evening out.
For a taste of Sellwood: Try dinner at Assaggio (Italian for "taste" or
"sample"). Assaggio's menu changes regularly, featuring the food and wine
of Italy's many regions. Sellwood is also home to Caprial's Bistro, where
diners enjoy the masterful creations of celebrity chef Caprial Pence.
