Portland has a nationally famous food scene with several James Beard awarded chefs, many who were attracted here due to the proximity of Oregon produce and wines, seafood, wild mushrooms and truffles. Portland cuisine came early to the farm to-table movement and the craft beer movement. Being just south of Seattle, the home of the flagship Starbuck's coffee shop, and with a similar rainy winter climate, we have many fine neighborhood coffee havens. Powell's City of Books in the Pearl District is a whole city block with multiple floors, and comes with a map available at the entrances, which is fitting for the city of the most avid readers in the country. There are concerts and plays going on almost every weekend, outdoors in the summer, with several annual waterfront festivals downtown, notably the Rose Festival in June. Portland has a temperate climate similar to England which fosters lovely public gardens and arguably the favorite hobby of its suburban residents. The Portland Japanese Garden, the LanSu Chinese Garden, the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and Elk Rock Garden are must-sees for garden lovers. The Oregon Zoo and OMSI with its IMAX theatre are favorites of children and those who bring them. The Blazers basketbal team and the Timbers and Thorns soccer teams have avid loyal followers; the Thorns have won the NWSL championship a record 3 times, the Blazers won the NBA chamionship once. At 5200 acres Forest Park next to downtown is one of the largest city parks in the US, showcasing a lovely Pacific Northwest ecosystem, creeks and 80 miles of trails.
