This may have been in the works for a while, but thanks to a tweet tip from Iain MacKenzie (@maccoinnich), I’ve learned that east Portland will be home to a 99 Ranch Market. It looks like it’s going to open in the old Office Max space (EDIT: not the Hometown Buffet space, as I originally suggested—big box store spaces, they all look so similar). The projected opening is Q2 of 2024, so springtime next year.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear “Silk Road” (click to enlarge). Image credit: PBWorks
While doing some research, I came across a liquor license application for a new bar/restaurant opening in the Pearl District, called Silk Road. From what I can gather, the people behind it are also responsible for LULU (beautiful cocktails) and Jarana (Nikkei food) in SE Portland.

Back in March 2022 I wrote about Tréla, a Greek taverna planning to open on the southeast corner of NE Glisan and 60th Avenue (the former O’Neill Public House). For a long time they seemed—from an outsider’s view—dead in the water. But about a month ago, their social media woke up and they have continued to post there. Most recently they announced a Kickstarter, which at the time of the writing of this article, has raised a little over $800 with 36 more days to go.

A new bar/restaurant called The Snug is preparing to open up on NE Broadway in that little corner of Madison South near the Pacific Market and next door to Budding Culture, a black-owned and operated cannabis shop. The Snug will offer a family-friendly space serving food and drink, as well as games and live music.

Looks like the Concordia neighborhood is going to get their very own Sizzle Pie pizzeria. After Hotlips Pizza closed their locations this past spring, a number of storefronts opened up—to Sizzle Pie’s benefit, in this case (Fusion Curry Pizza is to open in the former Hotlips location in the Hollywood District).
