Typhoon on Broadway has great Thai food. The Portland City Grill on the 30th floor of the US Bancorp building has fantastic views and a good happy hour menu. The Portland Saturday market has arts, crafts, food and entertainment, and the International Rose Test Garden has roses in every shade imaginable.

"Where should we stay..?"
Any place in the downtown core would work. That generally means a "SW" street address under 1500. Typical picks are Hotel Monaco, The Nines, Hotel Lucia, Vintage Plaza... If you don't mind the more stuffy Benson Hotel, it's probably where you'd end up if bidding on Priceline.
"What should we do?"
Easy! "...shop, and eat.." ;-) Where to shop:
- Powell's Books
- Pearl District
- NW 21st & 23rd Streets
or, for a little more funk:
- Mississippi Ave
- Alberta Street
- Hawthorne Blvd.
Places to eat: Castagna, Le Pigeon, Toro Bravo, Metrovino, Noble Rot, Caffe Mingo, Fratelli and/or Bar Due, Andina, Ned Ludd, Belly, Ten 01, Piazza Italia, Wildwood... Higgins. Classiest space in town, with food to match: Fenouil.
