Portland in December

[Haudlady]

It's almost time! I'm getting excited - I love to travel, but don't get to do it very often.

I'm looking for some more help, if you don't mind! I know, you have all given me such good advice already, but I'm looking for (more) help with lunch. It turns out that my classes will all be at the Oregon Convention Center, not at the Hotel... and now it looks like the lunch venues you recommended are too far away for me to make it! I'm disappointed - I've never tried Bento, and I really wanted to go to Tom's. (Hey! Maybe it will be easier for me to go to Stumptown, though, since it looks like it is between the hotel and convention center!)

So - can anyone give me some good lunch options near the Convention Center? THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Plantluvr: Thanks for the offer to go to the Chinese Garden, but I don't think I'll make it. The class schedule is too restrictive!

Elk: I live in Central NH. I wish I would have time to get out of the city, but I'm guessing (again - that darn schedule) I won't. Oh well - am supposed to be working!!!
