Description
Portland Penny Diner was a counter-service[1] diner at the intersection of Southwest Broadway and Stark Street (since renamed Harvey Milk Street) in downtown Portland, owned by restaurateur Vitaly Paley. Housed within the Hotel Lucia,[2][3] the exterior had a sign with a spinning penny.[4] In 2016, Willamette Week's Enid Spitz described the restaurant as a "modern, subway-tiled diner" with "pared-down breakfasts for prices cheaper than many food carts".[5] The menu has also been described as "trendy Northwest flavors with a Native American twist".[6] The restaurant has served sandwiches and soups.[7] Fodor's has described the restaurant as "hip and casual".[8]
