Did you know the seafaring town of Newport is also home to Oregon’s only literary-themed hotel?

This bookish retreat is perched on a cliff at the edge of the sea and had enticed readers to the coast for decades. 📚🌊

Recently reimagined and refreshed, you’ll find contemporary touches throughout all the spaces and cozy literary vibes.

All guest rooms are named for either authors (Maya Angelou, Jane Austen) or after popular genres. Each room has curated book selections and there’s reading nooks on every level.

One of the most beautiful spaces is the light-filled lobby library ✨ — and the downstairs cafe with ocean views and a menu that nods to all things bookish.

Read more in the upcoming fall issue of @1859oregon.

Explored charming new and old places on a recent getaway to Gearhart, an idyllic village on Oregon’s North Coast.

It’s where you’ll often see majestic elk sashay through dune grass at sunset and you meet the same people and pups on morning coffee runs.

Here’s a mix of stellar spots in town worth planning a weekend around:

🥂 @daughterswineshop a coastal bistro and bottle shop that’s all charm and cheer with stunning interiors and an excellent indie wine selection (Megan is fab)!

🦪 @gearhart_market a small town grocery stocked with all the provisions you’ll need from local bread and greens, cooking essentials to home goods and more (chat with the wonderful owner who has lived around the world)

@ziggyssweetsandtreats the newest spot in town with the joyful mission to provide elevated nostalgia with ice cream, local pies and a global candy selection (named after the owner’s dog…look for his portrait on the wall)! 🐾

@kingtide.bakery join the line of pups and people for coffee and buttery croissants 🥐 at this husband-and-wife run bakery

🖼️ @trailsendartassociation features local artwork and rotating exhibits along with cool seasonal workshops

While @thepeoplescoast has a smattering of magic towns, there’s only one Gearhart. It’s my favorite beach village to return to because it’s one of the rare places where it feels like time stands still. ✨🌊

Looking for suggestions of other spots to visit where time slows down. Any favorites?

☀️🐟 Soak up summer nights on the patio with this breezy recipe for the grill. It’s Day 8 of 10 days of tuna and we’re spotlighting easy ways to cook delicious Oregon Albacore at home.

Food writer and cookbook author @kerrynewberry stopped by her local @marketofchoice to chat all things fish at the standout seafood counter where the focus is on supporting local and sustainable fisheries.

While shopping for ingredients, she found more local favorites from our friends @durant_oregon and @jacobsensaltco to make this Grilled Albacore with Salsa Verde pop. 🍋

Ingredients:
8 to 10 oz fresh Albacore tuna loin, sliced into pieces about ¾ inch thick
½ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided (for more zesty flavor use Durant Lemon Fused Olive Oil)
Neutral oil to prepare the grill
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Zest of one lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
½ cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 T capers, drained
2 anchovy filets
Kosher salt (or Jacobsen Salt Co. Lemon Zest Salt) and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:
Marinate the Albacore
In a flat bowl, mix ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, half the garlic, rosemary and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Dip the tuna slices in the marinade, flipping to coat other side. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.

Make the Salsa Verde
In a food processor, add the parsley, anchovies, capers and the remaining chopped garlic. Pulse until a paste forms, then slowly drizzle in the remainder of the olive oil until integrated.

Prepare the Grill
Heat the grill over medium-high heat and make sure the grates are well cleaned. Lightly grease the grill at the last minute with a little neutral oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Grill the Albacore 🐟
Remove the tuna slices from the marinade and cook them on the hot grill for 2 minutes per side, removing from the heat before the middle becomes opaque.

To Serve
Plate the Albacore pieces, then top with a generous swirl of the Salsa Verde.

When we heard the Oregon albacore special featured

When we heard the Oregon albacore special featured chili peppers from the chef’s home garden, many fun stories from over the years with Greg Higgins and his remarkable kitchen garden came to mind.

For many decades the chef has collected seeds for rare and heirloom chili peppers on his travels and dedicates a half-acre plot at home for test cropping 100’s of varieties each year.

Whatever thrives in his home garden often turns up on plates for the city of Portland. It’s one of a million reasons to go dine at this iconic restaurant right now. I went with dear friends for a long lunch and for two glorious hours time stood still.

Shout out to collaborator @johnvalls_f2.0, the fab photographer for @portrait.magazine.usa on this very old (but timeless story) when we were lucky enough to spend an afternoon in the chef’s dreamy home garden.

@higginspdx ❤️🍽️🥂
