This walking tour covers Portland’s Central Eastside neighborhood, known for its large collection of food carts and pods. The tour lasts about three hours and includes tastings from 5 to 7 different food carts, plus drinks. It begins in the colorful Central Eastside district, where the guide leads the group to several stops featuring diverse cuisines such as Slavic, Mexican, Bavarian, and Burmese dishes. Visitors learn about Portland’s unique food cart culture and why these vendors are called carts instead of trucks. One highlight is visiting one of the city’s largest food cart pods, located on the former site of the Oregon Hospital for the Insane. Here, the group samples four carefully selected dishes that represent the variety of Portland’s food cart scene. The tour also explores Portland’s Industrial Eastside neighborhood, noted for its murals, interactive art, and distinctive local history. The final stop is at a local brewery with an outdoor patio favored by residents. Guests taste beer made from locally grown ingredients and enjoy a freshly baked pretzel stick served with beer cheese. The tour includes all meals and guidance from a local expert but excludes gratuities. Walkers cover about one mile, and the tour operates rain or shine.
