Small Bites: Ballots and Brews, Pozole, Jinju, and More

Ballots and Brews at Tomorrow's Verse Taproom this weekend. — Have you voted yet?

Ballots and Brews at Tomorrow’s Verse. On Sunday, October 25 at 5:30pm, Tomorrow’s Verse is hosting Ballots and Brews: A Community Voting Night.

“Bring your ballot. Bring your voters’ pamphlet. Grab a beer and a table with your neighbors. Research the issues, discuss the candidates, talk through what’s on the ballot, ask questions and fill out your ballot at your own pace. No speeches. No pressure. No telling you how to vote. Just neighbors, community, democracy and beer.”

Be sure to take your completed ballot with you, as Tomorrow’s Verse is not an official drop site. 4605 NE Fremont Street, Suite 103, Portland

Valentine’s Day 2026 in Portland

Valentine’s Day 2026 falls on a Saturday, which means both daytime and evening celebrating and canoodling are fair game. Here is where you can enjoy your time together on V-Day—day or night—in a tasty way. Plus, some options are not dependent on being a couple. As Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.”

Give!Guide 2025: Food Edition in the Portland Metro Area

It’s almost Give!Guide time! This annual fundraiser, produced by the Willamette Week and takes place between November 1 and December 31, helps raise funds for nonprofits in the Portland metro area. It’s a significant presence at Bridgetown Bites HQ each year, but we haven’t talked about it much here.

This year, we want to highlight the food aspects of the Big Give Days—there are three days devoted specifically to food, and six days that incorporate food elements into the prizes.

Beijing Hot Pot gets some love. The Korean Mama and The Korean Son recently went to Beijing Hot Pot and had a great meal at a good price. Watch them here—and maybe stop by yourself! They are just south of Ha VL and just north of Fubonn in East Portland. 2768 SE 82nd Avenue, Portland

Wonderlove is open (partially). This is good news—the SE Portland food cart/bar/entertainment venue Wonderlove is open! A post on Instagram about a week ago goes like this:

And that’s not all—we’re also serving adult beverages out of the Wondercat Pizza Cart! Stay tuned because the Wonderlove Bar is the second act, and it’s coming soon!” 262 SE Main Street, Portland
