Data Analytics Chart

It’s 2023! And though we are in a new year, I’m looking back at the top 10 posts of 2022. I realize that the last time I did this was … 2017.

It was, as usual, interesting to see what got the most traffic in 2022—meaning, what readers were particularly drawn to. It’s no surprise that restaurant news was the main driver, and summer seems to be a bit of a theme.

Over 55,000 visits were recorded, and almost 35,000 of those visits were new to the site. Not bad for this modest operation.

As always, thanks for reading!

Last year I remember coming across something called the “Portland Strawberry Museum” and wondering, “what the heck was that?” I mean, what a great name! Is there some kind of museum dedicated to strawberries in Portland? Turns out it was a month of Saturdays in June of celebrating the strawberry, from Brittany Sigal’s Zuckercreme (then a popup). It is back this year for the entire month of June at her space in Montavilla.

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.

As someone who loves cocktails but doesn’t drink alcohol, zero proof drinks/dry cocktails/mocktails are pretty exciting. And I’m glad to see them getting more attention—most notably in this area of drinking is the fully dry cocktail bar Suckerpunch that recently opened in Portland. So you can imagine how happy I was to see that this weekend Montavilla’s Zuckercreme is hosting an event featuring mocktails made with Wilderton spirits—locally-made and alcohol-free.
