🍦 Mike’s Ice Cream kicked off its 39th season last weekend! A true sign that spring has arrived in the Gorge. Time to get in line for a scoop... or two.
🍹 Love and Hominy is serving up drinks to-go, including their refreshing Frosé. Also on the spring menu, the Mezze Bowl is a must-try! (images)
🥪 Pine Street Bakery rolled out their new Spring Lunch Menu, and it’s sandwich heaven: Pulled Pork, Spring Turkey, Mediterranean Chicken Salad, and a gooey mushroom and cheese panini. (images)
🍢 Dao-Deli is popping up at Hood River Common House for “Common Kabob” every Tuesday & Thursday, 4–8 pm. Think mezze spreads, meat on skewers, crispy fries, and salads on a pedestal — all showcasing local ingredients.
