Your Portland experience will be different depending on which
neighborhood you settle in, there are vast differences between them..
> - what broadband service is best?
Depends on where you live, some parts of Portland don't have DSL, in
which case you're stuck with Comcast.
> - what cellular company?
I've hated every one I've had.
> - cafes/bars with wifi
Lots and lots, it's nice.
> - good stores for computer parts/supplies?
People buy these things in actual stores? Weird. I buy mine online.
> - anything else? favorite beer? best indian restaurant? :)
Bridgeport IPA is a nice beer which is available at nearly every grocery
store in the city, on tap you'll find lots of variety.. depending. And
despite being a beer town there's a lot of folk who drink Pabst (nothing
wrong with that, it's just not a particularly exciting beer, it is cheap
though.) It's not uncommon to find dive bars with 5 different
microbrews on tap, it's easy to find bars with more (many more) on tap.
Good bars (most of them) will let you try a taste before you dive into
a whole pint - but then again, how bad could it be? Just get a pint and
chalk it up to experience!
Welcome to Portland!
