The increasingly hip and happening Northwest Industrial neighborhood (an area bordered by Northwest Yeon Avenue, St. Helens Road and Nicolai Street) is home to some of the city’s funkiest new cafes. I ventured around the out skirts of this Esco-polluted area to ferret out some culinary gems. 12 ounce Fresh Halibut or Salmon 12306 SE Powell Blvd. • Portland / Block East o f / 22nd on Powell Expires 11/15/04 Open Tues-Thurs 11am-8pm ♦ Fri & Sat 11am-10pm » Sun 1-7pm .. r& b Industrial Cafe and Saloon • 2572 N.Mf. Vaughn St. [ estward the course of Empire takes its way,” reads the emblem on the menu at this 3-month-old establishment. Rather than Imperialist cuisine, however, you will find the best of what the Northwest has to offer in straightforward, good food. For lunch, try the hand-carved ham sandwich with sharp cheddar cheese, accompanied by a spinach salad so crisp you could bounce a hazelnut off it. At night, the metal and chrome interior turns swanky with inventive lighting, but the meals stay homey. A perfectly cooked salmon steak with mashed potatoes and butternut squash set me back only a mere $12. Ms. Margaret’s Chocolate Chip Cake sent me summarily over the hazy moon.

This is no earthy- cninchy, patchouli-scented, health food hang out. Which is not to say that the food isn’t healthy. Although “The Story of Emanon” told on the menu invokes a northern Italian arti choke with aphrodisiac powers, the offerings themselves range from Southwestern to just plain American. Artichoke hearts only pop up in three dishes. At a recent lunch, both the chicken Caesar wrap and the Southwest wrap hurst with tangy flavor, perfectly grilled chick en and happily unlimp lettuce. The homemade potato chips are a nice touch at this pub-style sunken dining room just west of the Pearl. I’d say go if you’re in the neighborhood and feel ing hungry—or if you want to cruise the guys working construction next door. u «r-„ picenter of Northwest Industrial eating, the Tap Room is also home to the city’s best brewpub grub. A small oasis in the wareh'xise desert, its garden patio and bright, cheery dining rooms are always hustling. For starters, thfc rosemary garlic fries are a must. A burger, a grilled portabello mushroom sandwich or fish tacos will more than satisfy. Or try the excellent grilled chicken salad on baby greens with feta, hazelnut and red pepper. For heartier fare, try the shepherd’s pie or the pot roast. Wash it all down with their signature MacTamahan’s Amber Ale or creamy Black Watch Porter.
