Travel and Leisure took 25 major U.S. cities and rated them placed them 1-25 on 63 categories. It covered the topics of After Dark, Characteristics, City Scape, Culture, Food/Dining, People, Shopping and Type of Trip. Naturally you are dying to know how Portland fared in these areas and we did well exactly where you would expect us to. We ranked #1 in seven categories which were Public Parks/Spaces, Pedestrian Friendliness, Access to Outdoors, City Scape Overall, Environmental Awareness, Ease of Getting Around/Public Transportation and Characteristics Overall. With numbers like these we could become a major tourist draw. Luckily we didn't score dead last in anything but we did get some 24s and 23s. Sports Fan Vacation, Luxury Boutiques, Jewelry, Clubbing and Big-Name Restaurants don't seem to be our strengths but aren't necessities to have a good time. And just because our restaurants don't have celebrity chefs certainly doesn't mean our food isn't fan-freaking-tastic! We scored 2s in Coffee and Farmer's Markets and 7s in Cheap Eats and Pizza! We also score 2s for Peace and Quiet and Cleanliness which is awesome but I personally would like it if we made an effort to improve out Nightlife scores!
