I Went All the Way to Portland for a Late-Night Milkshake

By Josh Feit October 26, 2009

This not Ladybird, this is Josh. And I'm posting as FoodNerd because I was in Portland on Friday night. Wow.

Hungry for a late night dessert, my Portland host Amy  walked me over to 12th and Hawthorne in S.E. Portland where there's a mad collection of late night food carts doing fried po' boys, hot dogs, burritos, crepes,  and my late-night dessert—milkshakes. (Not the Dick's kind, but the soda fountain kind.)

It was Portland, so of course, the place was packed with young dudes in skinny jeans and gals in retro 80s gear and there's vegan options.

PDX

I got a graham cracker shake and Amy got oreo cookie with mint. We split those cruising along through the quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the string-lighted revelry on 12th . The shakes were awesome.

Come on Seattle. How about that abandoned parking lot at Pine and Belmont?
