Written by NomadicMatt @ Nomadic Matt's Travel Site
Posted 7/8/2021 | July 8th, 2021 Foggy, seeming perpetually damp, vibrantly green, and filled with tiny fishing villages, Oregon’s coast reminds me a lot of my home region of New England.

For our last dinner outing in Portland last year, we decided to check out Delores PDX. The specialty here is Polish food, which is something that’s nearly impossible to find out here in Hawaii.
