Sprawling food court with 20+ carts, communal tables & fire pit
"Hawthorne Asylum’s huge central fire pit is as eye-catching as it is warm. Cart patrons can often be found packed elbow-to-elbow around the communal fire on busier nights, providing even Portland introverts an easy excuse to make conversation with a stranger. Other covered areas feature robust heat lamps. At latest count, 21 carts make the Asylum their home, including creative Korean comfort food Mukja, longtime Slavic food favorite Pelmeni Pelmeni, and the eclectic Thai Me Burger — featuring, yes, burgers, but also a terrific pho on winter nights." - Nathan Williams
