The Hawthorne District -
Haight Street, Portland Style
Portland’s Hawthorne District
(also known as the Sunnyside District) is best known
for its laid-back culture, which often draws
comparisons to San Francisco’s Haight Street. The
Southeast Portland District is filled with funky coffee shops, locally-owned
restaurants, boutiques and many great used clothing
stores, consignment shops and vintage collectables.
There’s not shortage of casual restaurants and
brewpubs, which makes the Hawthorne District a
favorite in Portland’s night life scene. Despite all, the magic of Portland’s Hawthorne District is
that it’s a neighborhood first and a destination
second.
LOCATION
SE Hawthorne
Boulevard is located in SE Portland. It’s south of
Belmont Street and north of Divison Street. The most
concentrated commercial area along SE Hawthorne is
between 34th – 38th Streets but there’s plenty to
see on other parts of the street, too. The Hawthorne
District is close to both Laurelhurst Park and Mt.
Tabor Park, so it’s easy to get your fix of nature
in this urban neighborhood.

FAVORITE SHOPPING
MoonShadow
Moonshadow is
our favorite place to find Celtic gifts, essential
oils,
books and a warm
welcome. You can find owners Deborah & Roy in the
shop Tuesday - Sunday. The charm of Roy's Celtic
accent and the energy of his wife Deborah will
enchant you! The shop is also host to two of our
favorite friends, Hannibal and Jolly; two very
friendly Parrots that greet customers with friendly
words and sometimes a kiss! (You can see a picture

Powells Books
If you can't
make it to the original Powell's Books store in the
Pearl, then the Hawthorne location is the next
logical choice. While the store looks small on the
outside, it's actually a very large place. When you
get a second, stop by the adjacent coffee shop.

Missing Link
One of our
favorite places on Hawthorne. Where could you find
KidRobot toys and an abundance of vinyl figurines.
Although this store isn't intended for the young
ones, it's our 9-year old's favorite. Parental
guidance is recommended~

Red Light Clothing Exchange
The Hawthorne
District is well-known for its plethora of unique
stores, so this wouldn't be a featured category if
we didn't talk about at least one used clothing
store. There is something for everyone at the Red
Light Clothing Exchange as you dig your way through
an eclectic mix of clothing. There is something for
everyone and the prices are great. The staff is
helpful and friendly and stylish and oftentimes can
help in putting together the right outfit for you~
