1) SE Hawthorne: In mid-November, the former No Fish, Go Fish space welcomed a Polish-inspired spot dubbed Bar Dobre, with a menu divided into "Portland" and "Poland" sections, both primed to accompany a cocktail menu heavy on Polish liqueurs and flavors (translation: vodka). Per the official Facebook page, chef/owner Stan Pratnicki is an alum of specialty food purveyor Provvista; he reflects his Polish background in dishes like house-made kielbasa and smoked whitefish.

The hybrid spa and tea shop offers coffee by Ristretto Roasters, 32 different varieties of tea, and a light food menu of smoothies, cheese plates, soups, and salads. [EaterWire]
