But this time, it’s at a brand new pod built on the remnants of Mexican restaurant I used to frequent, back in the day. So it’s doubly nostalgic. That’s right. The Portland Office of Small Business is holding another “Show up for small business” event. And this time, it’s in southeast at the Brooklyn Caretta Food Carts.
The idea is simple: We pick the spot. You support the businesses.
Every month, we’ll choose a different neighborhood or business district. Then, it’s up to you to show up and do your part by shopping, grabbing a beverage, or dining at the small businesses in that area. No agenda. No speeches. Just all of us celebrating the amazing small businesses that make Portland unique.
This month we will head to the Brooklyn Carreta cart pod in SE Portland. Brooklyn Carreta features a lineup of exceptional food carts, offering everything from sushi burritos to hot chicken sandwiches, and their bar offers a rotating selection of handcrafted cocktails, local craft beers, and non-alcoholic options.
Not much to do shopping wise around there. I mean, unless you want to duck into Milwaukie Market or mosey down the street to the Record Pub for some LPs. But there are plenty of carts and beverages from which to choose.
The event takes place July 30, 2025, starting at 5:00PM at the Brooklyn Carreta cart pod.
