Shop: Lloyd District/N.E. Broadway

The Lloyd District is home to Oregon’s biggest shopping center (Lloyd Center) and a variety of independent shops, many clustered along Northeast Broadway.

Anzen Hiroshi
736 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Family owned since 1905, Anzen features a wide selection of Japanese imported goods, including fresh and prepared foods, cookware, videos, books and gifts.

Broadway Books
1714 N.E. Broadway

One of the city’s best independent bookstores offers plenty of tantalizing new and used titles, plus a wide selection of thought-provoking magazines and just-right greeting cards.

Goodnight Room
1517 N.E. Broadway

Furnishings, toys and books for tots from babies to kindergartners are the specialty of this kid-friendly store.

Lloyd Center
Northeast Ninth Avenue and Multnomah Street

Just across the Willamette River from downtown, Oregon’s largest shopping center houses 200 stores, an 18-screen movie house and an indoor ice rink. Lloyd Center is only seven minutes from downtown Portland, and the ride on MAX light rail is free.

Mountain Shop
1510 NE 37th AVE

For more than 70 years, this outdoors megastore has outfitted adventurers with four seasons worth of gear, tough enough to withstand any weather. (But they also have a repair shop just in case.)

Soho Clothing Boutique
1605 N.E. Broadway
503.282.4940

Loyal shoppers swear by the well-curated women’s wear selection and the staff, who know which jeans will work before anyone even says “dressing room.”
