Welcome to another roundup of top 5 posts on Bridgetown Bites: April 2025 edition. This time it was pretty much all about openings: restaurants, a bar, and a food cart pod. Nice to see that two cuisines we don’t see too much of here in Portland—Greek and Puerto Rican—were of interest to readers.

As always, thanks for reading, sharing, commenting, and sending tips!
