Savoy for your soul
The Savoy Restaurant in SE is a classic example of a Portland neighborhood restaurant - one of the things that makes the city great. So many great, small and intimate resturants to choose from. The Savoy has an interesting menu, great service and it just nails the portland vibe. Hard to go wrong at the Savoy!

Springwater Trail
A great paved trail for walking/running/cycling that slices clear through SE portland and beyond. Connects with other trails and can be made into a loop of the entire metro area for an ambitious cyclist.
Only drawback is the bumpy condition of the trail in places can wear on your bum if cycling.
