Hailing from Phoenix, Alexis moved to Portland about four years ago to escape strip malls and 110 degree summer days. She enjoys drinking coffee and reading, which she claims is one of Portland’s official pastimes. She likes finding new TV series from all over the world — like “Boys Over Flowers” from South Korea or “Misfits” from the UK — and “marathoning” through entire seasons in a day.
Do you have any secret talents?
I can remember songs really quickly, meaning I could sing it (poorly) back to you after that. Unfortunately, I have no musical talent, so I'm still trying to figure out a way to monetize my talent.
What's your favorite thing about sharing reviews on Places?
I love being able to let people know about my positive experiences at local businesses. When I'm planning a big dinner out or a brunch for out-of-town guests, I look at Places to get recommendations — so I think I’m helping someone out when I post a review.
If you could see any celebrity's reviews on Places, who would you choose and why?
I'd love to see Anthony Bourdain's reviews. They'd be brutal, but I think his opinion would be valuable, and I love his sense of humor.
Tell us some juicy gossip:
Don't tell the rest of the country, but .... Oregon is the best state! Shhhh!
Tell us about some of your Best Evers.
Genies: I love the food here and its well worth the wait. Theron is the best!
Crema Bakery & Cafe: I love this place and come here all the time. The staff seem friendlier than at many other Portland coffee shops, and the PB Grizzly rocks my world. The tuna and caprese sandwiches ($7) are great too.
Beulahland: Great bartenders and delicious cider on tap.
