SW Broadway: On the heels of the opening of Vitaly Paley's Imperial Restaurant, the James Beard Award-winning chef's next venture Portland Penny Diner is set to debut on November 30th. Paley and his right-hand man and executive Chef Ben Bettinger have re-imagined the diner for the Pacific Northwest, named after the coin that Frances Pettygrove and Asa Lovejoy used to decide Portland’s name in 1845. The counter-service diner will offer morning pastries, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches (on house made Fry Bread, Parker House rolls, or Grand Central breads) as well as salads, soups, sides, and old-school desserts from Pastry Chef Michelle Vernier. Bar Manager Brandon Wise will resurrect the historical soda fountain with housemade phosphate sodas, "lactarts", and cocktails like the Portland Egg Cream (with Fernet Branca, Imperial chocolate syrup, cream, and soda). The space will be open Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 7 pm; Fridays from 7 am to 1 am; and Saturdays from 7 pm to 1 am. 410 Southwest Broadway
