It’s that time again—time to look at the most popular posts from the previous month. It’s all about the restaurants but interestingly enough, three of the posts are about pizza! I guess April really was pizza month. Thanks, as always, for reading.

Ever since I heard about a new Greek restaurant opening up in the North Tabor neighborhood, I’ve been keeping an eye out for any news confirming the word-of-mouth details I encountered last year. Earlier this month a neighbor posted online a picture of the OLCC Public Notice affixed to the exterior of 6000 NE Glisan, and I knew this was it. The new restaurant is called Trela (or “tréla” on the logo), and I’m eagerly anticipating its opening.

A number of factors went into January’s traffic, including being linked to by PDX Eater and Willamette Week. Facebook is another solid referrer.

It’s always interesting to see what readers find particularly interesting and useful on the blog—I’m impressed that the Nepali Kitchen and Du Kuh Bee posts get so much traction. Nice to see the Thanksgiving post do so well—as a lover of roundups, I may do more holiday posts like it. As always, thanks for reading!

Despite its failings, there are some gems on Nextdoor when it comes to food. I’ve found direct-access to top-notch sources of Indonesian food, epic Lasagna Bolognese, Texas-style tortillas and plenty of local food recommendations, including the subject of this blog post, Nepali Kitchen. They’ve opened in what seems to be a house on the corner of NE Fremont and 49th Ave (across the street from Stanich’s), with a lovely little courtyard established in the front yard. And the food is excellent.

I’m a little late to the game, but I had to blog about this Trinidadian food popup at Little Griddle tomorrow, Tuesday October 19 at 3pm. Instagram account Mad Man Pop Up is behind this and the menu for tomorrow looks delicious (and is compatible with today’s earlier post about pumpkin).
