Come have Some Breakfast on the Bridges with Bowery Bagels

PortlandPedalPowerBikeBridgeEverybody loves Breakfast. It’s the meal that sets the stage for the whole day, so you gotta make it count. But sometimes, you have to cut breakfast short if you have a long commute, which means your breakfast might consist of whatever you can grab on the go.

So come enjoy a good breakfast this Friday! May 29th kicks off the first Breakfast on the Bridges, a great service hosted by the Shift community.

On the last Friday of every month during the summer season, Shift hands out pastries coffee, fruit, and sometimes even biscuits and gravy to cycling commuters crossing the bridges. Instead of rushing to get across the bridge, this event gives you a chance to stop for a minute, enjoy some good food, and take in the scenery from one of Portlands many bridges. This Friday, May 29th, you will find them on Steel bridge(esplanade east side), Hawthorne bridge (westbound off ramp), and Burnside bridge(east end, westbound) starting at 7:15 AM.

Portland Pedal Power will be there, so come say hi! We will have some delicious baked goods from Bowery Bagels, paired with some of their fantastic Schmears. This way, you can leave for the office on time AND enjoy a delicious breakfast before headed over the bridge. A great Breakfast with a great view of PDX. Couldn’t be better!

 


Bowery Bagels: Advertising the Right Way

There’s something beautiful about symbiotic relationship. Whether it be the honeybee and the flower, the Clownfish and the Sea Anemone, or the Shark and Remora, partnerships between two parties can bring about some wonderful results. At Portland Pedal Power, we are very lucky to have quite a few partnerships that would even make a honeybee jealous.

Take for example our great relationship with Bowery Bagels! Bowery has been serving Portland since March of 2012, with with delicious bagels and schmears for sale at more than 80 retail locations. Once they opened their own storefront, Bowery reached out to PPP to fulfill their delivery needs and, as they say, the rest is history.

What’s for lunch? Bowery is the New Bagels on the block!

For those of you who absolutely love our local bagel shops, perhaps you’ve heard about the newest bagel shop on the block, Bowery Bagels. Since their opening (a couple weeks ago), Bowery Bagels and Portland Pedal Power have been working together to bring you handmade, custom crafted, bagel genius for lunch!  Currently housed next to Gilt on NW Broadway, Bowery Bagels is certainly setting a new standard for bagels in Portland.

Michael Madigan, the mastermind behind Portland’s well-known food incubator KitchenCru (twitter: @KitchenCru), has opened Bowery Bagels and CruMarket. His new dual-purpose storefront, located across the street from KitchenCru at 310 NW Broadway in Old Town Portland’s former Everett Hotel building, will house Portland’s premier New York-style bagel bakery meets sandwich shop along with an eclectic retail space featuring food products from local producers who work out of KitchenCru.
