Our hometown, New York City, was an early and ongoing target of these fabrications. All cities have their issues, of course \u2014 it\u2019s the nature of so many people living in such close quarters \u2014 but those issues are the price we gladly pay for easy exposure to a world\u2019s worth of different lifestyles and traditions.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not for you, that\u2019s fine. All New Yorkers also yearn to look up from the kitchen sink and see fields of lavender and a Bambi or three. I regularly pine for the desert, and grew up in a wooded suburb, happily exploring the forest. I took a bus to school, which was a blast, but always wished I lived close enough to take a bike. My daughter, who\u2019s in second grade now, walks to school, only a couple blocks, and along the way we see dozens of her friends and their families. We often say it\u2019s like living on <em>Sesame Street<\/em>, brownstones and all.<\/p>\n<p>When I was on that school bus, wishing I was on my bike, I never would\u2019ve thought my child would do me one better, in Brooklyn of all places. We don&#8217;t live in fear. We\u2019re not surrounded by crime and riot. You can take the subway in and out of Manhattan every day and not have a single inconvenience caused by anything other than an outdated signal system. Ironically, the only thing that worries me about my daughter eventually walking the city on her own is that indelible symbol of the suburbs: the car. The streets are safe. Crossing them, on the other hand, requires vigilance.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor\">\n<p>Our <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/magazine.tablethotels.com\/en\/category\/civic-pride\/?noapp=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Civic Pride series<\/a> looks at essential hotels in great American cities, starting with Chicago, Portland, and DC. We have colleagues and close friends in these places, and like us in New York, mostly they&#8217;re just bummed by the undeserved negative attention they&#8217;re receiving. And it goes without saying that none of this is good for the tourism industries. In fact, one Portland hotel sent an email recently asking that people not be fooled by the headlines, confirming that the city is alive and well and remains \u201cradically friendly, wildly creative, and unapologetically itself.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a lot to be proud of.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/portland-hotels\/jupiter-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jupiter Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Southeast<\/em> \u2014 Portland, OR, USA<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/portland-hotels\/jupiter-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20251011-Portland\/Jupiter.jpg\" alt=\"Jupiter Hotel\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Jupiter, a refurbished mid-century motel, is visually appealing, stylishly designed, and eminently livable; luxury, however, is not part of the program.
