"Never run out of ideas for date night. Written by spouses Eden Dawn and Ashod Simonian, this cheeky and stylish guide offers fun adventures in Seattle and Washington state, Portland, Vancouver, B.C. and more."
—Seattle Times
Praise for The Portland Book of Dates, A Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller
"We definitely recommend buying the book for yourself—there are so many more places to explore than we could possibly fit here, and the illustrations are gorgeous."
—Portland Mercury
"This book is adorable. It is so cool. It's hip, it's trendy, and what I love about it is it's not your average guidebook. The illustrations and the maps . . . make it so entertaining to read."
—X-Ray FM
"It may take on greater importance as a historical text, the same way Chuck Palahniuk's city guide Fugitives & Refugees did in 2003—a snapshot of Portland as it was just before it changed forever, again."
