Top 5 Posts on Bridgetown Bites, July 2022

Data Analytics Chart

July was a month spent more or less in bizarro world for me because of stupid COVID, so real talk: I did not feel connected to the blog during that month as much as I usually am. So seeing the top posts for July 2022 feels a little like “it’s news to me.” But, nonetheless, it’s still fun to see what readers liked in particular—restaurant news, of course. It’s an interesting group of places. BTW, Bar Cala, Old Pal, and Sugar Hill are now open.

Thanks, as always, for reading.

5. The My-O-My Arrives on NE Sandy Blvd This Summer

Yesterday I published a speculative post about the old Rocky Butte Pub space on NE Sandy near 86th Ave. Fortunately, a reader tipped me off to what is actually going in there: the new place will be called the My-O-My ,”Your Favorite Bar East of 82nd.” The folks from the White Owl Social Club are behind it.

I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend recently; I know I did. Here’s what was popular in June 2022. It is an interesting mix of older posts, which indicates posts are being indexed on Google a lot better than before, and people are finding the website. A lot of referrers are searches. So enjoy this, “blast from the past,” of sorts.

This week I learned that Jolly Roger, a “long time Buckman den of fun and frolic” (thank you, Buckman Community Association) will be demolished. What’s coming in its place? Housing.

Better late than never with this review of May’s top posts on Bridgetown Bites; Salad Week took a lot of time and attention in late May/early June. It was a lot of fun! So here are the top posts for May 2022—as expected, restaurant news and info, including details on various openings, were popular items—Italian food, Latin American food, and pizza got a lot of interest. As always, thanks for reading.

5. Interesting Projects From República’s Team & Associates

República, a restaurant that offers enjoyment and world-expanding flavors in delicious regional Mexican cooking, has garnered high praise from both food media (PoMo’s Restaurant of the Year 2021, PDX Eater’s Best New Restaurant 2021, 2022 James Beard Award Semifinalist as Best New Restaurant) and eaters in Portland. They show us that there is much to experience from a country that is often thought of in the U.S. as simply the home of margaritas, burritos, tacos—and, if you’re getting fancy, tres leches cake (these are all delicious, but are a fraction of what Mexico has to offer as far as food goes). I personally think it’s very important and meaningful to highlight the regional tastes of our neighbor to the south, and I’m glad República is doing just that.

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.

Amanda’s husband, Richard Forrest Mavis (software developer and former owner of Gigantic Gallery in NW Portland), may also be involved. They hope to open in April.

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).
