The Portland Summer Date Itinerary
Three phases. One perfect night. The AI generates the specific venues — this is the structure it follows.
Forest Park is one of America's largest urban forests — 5,000 acres of Douglas fir and sword ferns within Portland's city limits. The Wildwood Trail winds through old growth that feels like a different world entirely, just 20 minutes from downtown.
After forest park trail date, head to Pearl District for dinner. $45–$85/person — that range covers a full sit-down meal without feeling extravagant. The Portland Japanese Garden is one of the finest outside Japan — 12 acres of designed serenity with views of Mount Hood.
End the night in Alberta Arts District. The Portland Japanese Garden is one of the finest outside Japan — 12 acres of designed serenity with views of Mount Hood. The key is not calling it a night too early — the after-party is where the date moves from "good" to "unforgettable."

"Great summer-specific picks. The patio restaurant suggestion was exactly right — not just 'outdoor seating' but genuinely atmospheric."
