Guidebook for Astoria
Parks & Nature
There is a trail leading from the coach up through a greenbelt, under a wooden bridge and two blocks up Irving Avenue to the Cathedral tree & Astoria Column Trailhead. It is a beautiful setting to get away from it all. How can you not enjoy a temperate rain forest?! This is a must for anyone that hasn't had the experience.

There is a trail from the coach's front door into the woods leading to the column, as well as the Cathedral Tree. Both are wonderful hikes and are well worth bringing your hiking boots for!

Food Scene
This is a great little hole in the wall cafe that knows how to do the organic/vegan/locally sourced food thing right! They have great meats, too, but I enjoy everything they make (I'm a big meat-eater, but I go nuts for their vegan specials!) Tip: If you like fresh squeezed greyhounds, mimosas or screwdrivers, this is your spot. Try the E-shot, it is amazing.

This is a tavern that does an amazing job with their food! Best greasy spoon eats in town, hands down! Chicken fried steak? You get a massive slab! Biscuits and gravy? A platter full of the heavenly substance. Great sandwiches and burgers, and a quality dive bar drink to boot! Very reasonable prices and indoor/outdoor seating. Food made late night.

Everything Else
Another one of Astoria's fine museums located in the stately Queen Anne Victorian home of the first prominent Columbia River bar pilot captain George Flavel. Lots of local history to be learned about here, as well as a look into how wealthy individuals lived in the late 1800s. Too neat to pass up!
