Portland Men’s Guide : review

admin — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 04:22:40 +0000

“Inspired by the Japanese izakaya concept,Yakuza is a true food-lover’s bar, and their burger is Portland Monthly’s 2009 favorite. But it’s the hidden treasures like Hamachi and Pork Cheek that make you wonder how a nation’s pub food could be this mouthwatering. And if their drink list doesn’t blow your mind, make sure you still have a pulse…”

My Houzz: Mixed-Use Oregon Home Serves and Charms

admin — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 00:27:05 +0000

Dayna McErlean’s seven-year remodeling project transformed a debilitated Portland, Oregon, building into a vibrant multiuse project. Drawing on her childhood and inspired by her hands-on, creative family, McErlean created four dynamic spaces — the Yakuza Lounge (a food lover’s Japanese pub), an upstairs living space, a gorgeous garden and deck area, and a cabin for rent. Working with a carefully chosen team of building consultants, McErlean also incorporated a green roof and a water reclamation system. Now, nearly a decade later, her converted home in the city’s Alberta Arts District, is at the heart of a thriving creative community.
