Red Bat
Museums by Bike: Food & Drink 2.6.2010
We had nearly 20 bicyclists meet at Voodoo Too, though too many suburbans where there, that not one of us had a single donut, but never fear -- we were on our way to Savor the Flavor of Greece at the Hellenic-American Museum & Cultural Center in the upstairs of a greek church off Glisan and 32nd. On the way we visited a mini 7up Museum, Learned that the big rotating Franz bread was put on the roof in 1956, and stopped at Benson Bubbler in front of Benson Tech High - whichg was actually one of two Benson Bubblers made at the H.S. in the 1970s! Oh did we savor the flavor of Greek Food and we even got some greek mustaches from our dessert. We lost a few after this stop, but many stayed on for a visit to the Big Milk, we visited the Oregon State symbols in the LLoyd - no one guessed that Milk is Oregon's State drink, a stop in to Anzen - a 100 year old Japanese All-in-one store across from the Convention Center. We also got a mini tour of Dan & Louis Oyster Bar, and then biked along the waterfront and saw larger grain ships filling up with grain and old mills. Our last stop was a Brewery tour at Bridgport. Post tour, per Patrick's suggestion we had some Cask Conditioned IPA Beer. Wow - super yummy. As we left, the rain was back, and I a little tipsy, and a very nice museum tour for the museum lady. Lots of new people this tour which was fun!
