"A sprawling 82nd-area pod home to a variety of carts and stalls—from mochi flour doughnuts to Burmese mohinga—showcasing the corridor’s diversity." - Dianne de Guzman
"Located at 3612 SE 82nd Avenue, CORE is a Lents neighborhood food hall and cart pod owned by Mandy Kao and Hanry Ho; it will house the new Publican Beer Room when it opens on September 27 and is in the same building as HeyDay and Sandy’s Myanmar Cuisine." - Janey Wong
"Just across the street from the old Eastport lot, the CORE pod has taken in multiple vendors and offers greatly expanded indoor dining space and permanent restrooms compared with the old Eastport setup." - Nathan Williams
"Lisa Nguyen started Heyday as a pop-up, pulling inspiration from the broader Asian American culinary lexicon — using a combination of wheat and rice flours, Nguyen would serve doughnuts in flavors like baked ube and coconut sweet corn (a play on the Vietnamese dessert chè bắp). At her counter within the Collective Oregon Eateries food hall, also known as CORE, Nguyen serves airy doughnuts in flavors like passionfruit chocolate or ca phe sua (Vietnamese iced coffee), as well as chewier baked doughnuts, including coconut pandan and the original favorite — baked ube. You’ll also spot Heyday doughnuts at coffee shops like Portland Ca Phe, Electrica, and Less and More." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Townsend, Eater Staff
"Baker Lisa Nguyen is celebrating the first anniversary of her Asian American-inspired doughnut shop Heyday with the launch of Sunday Bakeshop, offering a rotating menu of cookies, cakes, pies, cream puffs, macarons, and Vietnamese baked goods and desserts." - Janey Wong
