Vegan/Vegetarian Food
Admittedly, not a comprehensive list of vegan and vegetarian-friendly places to eat. Just places I know, enjoy, and are nearby.
Very near vegan place with brunch on weekends. If someone wants to take me out to dinner, I choose Blossoming Lotus most of the time.

Has vegan pizza sometimes. Call first? Wood-fired pizza from a food cart in a covered cart pod. Check out other food carts there too. Doesn't get more Portland than this.

Vegan strip club...because, Portland. [I know strip clubs are controversial. Portland has a long, strange relationship with female-friendly strip clubs. I'm just letting you know as a good host.] Not close to the house but purported to be the only vegan strip club in the world. Ha! I have not been.
You missed the pirate-themed vegan strip club that was the talk of the town a decade ago.
