There are so many ways to celebrate Independence Day 2017 in Portland, but eating hot dogs is probably the best. Whether dirt-cheap, gourmet, or vegan, hot dogs are just as diverse as America, and really, what’s more liberating than turning a couple bucks into a full meal? That way, you can afford more cheap beer — another thing that makes this country, and Portland especially, great.
Since this is America, decide for yourself what to eat and drink this Fourth of July. Use the maps below to find the requisite burgers, ice cream, patios, 24-hour restaurants, and more — all mapped for convenience.
