Pie Spot Hits the Ocean; More Street Seats Coming

NORTHEAST—The microrestaurant complex the Ocean has welcomed its second opening, in the form of the Pie Spot food cart, which has relocated from its former location at the D-Street Noshery cart pod to a new bakery/coffeeshop location on NE 24th, between Glisan and Sandy. Owners Ashley Ragsdale and Jessica Woods have launched a Kickstarter campaign to purchase ovens and an espresso machine for the brick-and-mortar's official opening. [EaterWire]

EVERYWHERE—More citywide parking spaces are slated to become outdoor dining tables. Per the Mercury, the Portland Bureau of Transportation's "Street Seats" program will soon pop-up in front of 15 local restaurants — SE Division's Wafu was the first to debut the seats, and the Pearl's Oven & Shaker has recently followed suit.
