Another month, another list of top 5 posts on Bridgetown Bites. It was another good month as far as traffic goes, with over 16,000 unique visitors generating close to 21,000 page views. Attention was on an interesting mix of things in July—openings, closings; new and old-ish posts; plus supermarkets.

As always, thanks so much for visiting, reading, and sharing articles and content from the site—appreciation for our tipsters, too!

Top 5 Posts on Bridgetown Bites, April 2024

Data Analytics Chart

“Meg, you’re really pushing it!” I say to myself about the delayed posting—almost to June—of the blog’s monthly top 5 posts roundup. Truth be told, traffic was affected a lot after the March 2024 adjustment in Google’s “Helpful Content Update,” and … well … it’s been a real bummer. So, it means devoting some time to re-strategize. Still, over 9,300 unique visitors made it here and generated just under 12,000 page views for the month.

I appreciate your reading, sharing, and enjoying the content here on Bridgetown Bites—many, many thanks. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook, as well as X/twitter, and aforementioned re-strategizing will affect the social channels, too. Now, onto the top posts from April (plus some updates).

5. Get Ready for Fallow’s Restaurant, From the People Behind Bastion

A salad you might find on the menu at Fallows Restaurant.

The folks behind Bastion, a restaurant in Sellwood that shows you that food can be both healthy and delicious, are opening up a new restaurant, Fallow’s, just up the street in the old Relish Gastropub space. They will offer dinner service (Bastion closes at 4pm the days they are open). As a fan of Bastion, I’m pretty excited about this.

Update: They have launched a Kickstarter and it has a whole bunch of new information in it about the restaurant.

Posting this in a “better late than never” approach, I’m happy to say that February 2024 was another good month on the blog with about 19,000 page views generated by over 14,500 unique visitors—and for a shorter month than January! As for what was popular, it was heavy on the bars, with a couple of eatery news stories. The opening of new places is always something fun to read about.

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

5. Mokdong Gimbap to Open in Old Frog & Snail Space

As you know from reading this blog, Frog & Snail closed earlier this year, ending easy access to crepes and the magnificent French onion meatball sub they were known for. But a new place is opening up there, Mokdong Gimbap, offering sushi and—you’d expect—especially gimbap.

The rare weekend post—I wanted to get this up before I forget. January 2024 on Bridgetown Bites was a good month: almost 12,000 unique visitors landed here and generated close to 16,000 page views. Here’s what you all enjoyed the most last month—the Sandy Jug got a lot of attention, in particular (it’s cool to see the before and after shots of the building further down this post).

5. New Food Cart Pod Coming to NE Fremont

This morning I read an email from a Bridgetown Bites reader about a new food cart pod coming to NE Fremont Street. It will be in the old Barrett Automotive space there on the northeast corner of 44th Avenue.

Update: A new permit was set-up on February 13, 2024 with this description: “Request for dedication to be waived or contingent upon removal of existing building on NE 44th.” A “dedication” is explained on the Portland city website as so: “As part of a development permit or land use application, the landowner may be required to grant an easement to the City for public right-of-way purposes. This is often referred to as a ‘dedication.’”

On the edge of the northeast corner of the Hollywood District lived Hot Lips Pizza. It closed back in March 2023 and a number of people expressed sadness about that. But according to city documents, a new pizzeria is opening in there: Fusion Curry Pizza. Update: They are open for business.
