GrassRoutes Travel offers a new kind of guidebook in which green travel, sustainable living, youth culture, and authenticity take center stage.
These energetic guides tap local scenes at their best: from indie shops to late-night eating spots, from getting around sans car to getting creatively inspired, from the hottest music venues to the quietest places to open a book and read.
Taste that Vietnamese-French sandwich, or get out and help weed gardens in a public P-patch and meet some locals.
Have a splurge dinner made by a chef who grows her own greens, and then stay up late at a poetry reading.
This guide points travelers to an eco-urban adventure that reveals a new look at Portland — a city chock-full of bustling, eccentric neighborhoods. The foundation of each GrassRoutes guide is the actual experiences of local writers who offer up annotated listings of places to volunteer, encourage visitors to take the bus, and highlight places in the city to find inspiration.
