STRATEGIZE OVER LUNCH - View this location on map Downtown Portland has about five neighborhoods, each with its own mood and flavor, but it isn't very big. In 20 minutes, you can walk from Chinatown in the northwest to the cultural district in the southwest. Which brings you to lunch. At Southpark Seafood Grill & Wine Bar (503-326-1300; www.southpark.citysearch.com), you can plunk at the bar for a quick meal and ask for sightseeing suggestions from the young downtown crowd. Seafood holds center stage, including fried calamari and vegetables with spicy aioli ($8.50) and a risotto with prawns, peas and pancetta ($13.50).
