On the lighter side today I thought it would be good for this Portland Oregon bankruptcy lawyer to give you some advice if you are heading to downtown Portland on where eat and drink around your hearing. As much as some clients would like for me to tell them what bars to go to; I'll confine this writing to coffee/food places near the hearing building.
The building currently housing the Chapter 7 341 meetings is located on Broadway in downtown Portland. Here's a link: http://tiny.cc/7bqZy If you start from the courthouse you'll find a Starbucks about 2 blocks away; before that is another coffee shop on 5th and salmon. Go figure there are coffee places in Portland Oregon. If I have a later hearing I like to stick around downtown and head to the melting pot; which is a great fondue place directly across the street from the Bankruptcy hearing rooms. Its a bit spendy but if you have any money left over after meeting with the trustee it might be worth a shot.
On the lower end of the spectrum there is a McDonald's about 2 blocks away down on 5th; I'm partial to their breakfast burritos now so I stop there a lot before my morning bankruptcy trustee meetings. Just make sure you bring some mints. If you are really feeling like something authentic to downtown; try walking down to pioneer square and hitting the vendor carts. The hot dog stand and the Philly cheese steaks are my favorite and on a sunny day sitting in the square is a nice break from the hearings.
Enjoy the day.
