Hollywood
NE Hollywood is the grown-up option: leafy, settled, and built around a transit hub that quietly solves the logistics most Portland dates fumble. The commercial spine is short but functional, with a wine bar or two, a theater that still matters, and enough sit-down rooms to make a Wednesday feel intentional rather than scrounged. The crowd skews older, partnered-adjacent, and unbothered, which is either reassuring or a little sleepy depending on what you came for. Tradeoff: the nightlife ceiling is low, so plan the second act elsewhere. As a meet-and-walk neighborhood, though, it overdelivers.
