I CAN’T REMEMBER ever having a single bad meal in Portland . This occurs to me as I’m drinking a first-rate saison made with rose petals from Burnside Brewing Co. and grazing on elk sausage at Feast, the city’s annual food festival . Amid the four-day barrage of culinary temptations, two things stood out: the smoky, charcoal-fired paella of squid and Spanish cuttlefish by Barcelona-born chef José Chesa that I sampled at his namesake restaurant; and Vitaly Paley’s lushly evocative paean to his Russian heritage in the form of a tea service at the new Headwaters (page 14).

Childhood food memories have a powerful ef-fect. It’s almost impossible to separate the ingre-dients of a dish from the emotion that it conjures up—and that is exactly how it should be. In fact, that’s what inspired the Thanksgiving menu of classics with a spin in this issue (page 81), creat-ed by our stellar food team. This being Sunset ,“classic” can mean a grilled turkey—trust me, I sampled every single version coming out of the Test Kitchen and I may never roast again—or an ice cream pie redolent with fall flavors. Our hope is that this menu informs a lifetime of nostalgic food traditions and recipes to resurrect for many Thanksgivings to come.

As I write this on my return from the Portland food frenzy, my family and I are still camped out in our kitchen-less construc-tion site (unless you count the toaster oven and mini fridge in one corner as a kitchen). My dream of hosting Thanksgiving will have to wait another year. But when our remodel is finally over and done with, I’m going to throw a house-warming party for the ages, complete with Ayesha Curry’s shrimp and grits (page 76) and Amanda Haas’s irresistible sour-cherry brownies (page 78). This year’s holiday dinner might be a little more off-the-cuff, but I already know what I’m giving thanks for: my move back West and all the memories, food and otherwise, I now get to create in this wonderful place I call home.

DRINK OF CHOICE

There are a few things Jessika Tantisook and Jared Oakes (above), co-owners of the Long Beach, Washington, cranberry farm Starvation Alley, tell their customers. First, cranberries don’t grow in water. (They grow in fields, or bogs, which are recessed in the ground and flooded for pest control and ease of harvest.) Second, true cranberry juice isn’t sweet. Instead, the 100 percent organic, cold-pressed juice the couple makes is “fruity and tart,” explains Tantisook. “It’s not single-serve. Add an ounce or two to sparkling water, a smoothie, a salad dressing, or a batch of cocktails.” The in-demand product—which comes with a hefty price tag, $10 for a 16-oz. bottle—is now a cult ingredient on menus across Seattle and Portland. Product collaborations with Northwest brands abound, from Pok Pok’s Som Cranberry Drinking Vinegar to North Jetty Brewing’s Starvation Alley Weissbier. We know which cranberry sauce ($7) we’re trying this season. starvationalley.com. — Jess Chamberlain

THE BACKPACK FOR OUR FALL ADVENTURES

Alexa Osbourn and Ed and Maria Ruzic— the design trio behind Boulder-based ac-cessories line Sherpani —all came from outside the West but didn’t take long to grasp its vibe. “Everyone here is active,” Osbourn observes, “although no one wants to sac-rifice style.” Their sleek yet sporty bags, crafted from materials such as liquid nylon and hand-painted canvas, speak to that sensibility. The star of the fall collection: the stylish, functional Indie ($118), a wool-and-leather backpack with a padded laptop sleeve, internal pockets, and a wallet that’s just the right size for a transit card … or a compass. “Take it to work, on a hike, then to a bar for drinks,” says Osbourn . Our thoughts exactly. sherpani.com. —Megan McCrea

A fall wreath of foraged manzanita leaves. A lava

rock bonsai . A plant chandelier! San Francisco photographer and stylist Caitlin Atkinson shares her exquisite botanical

creations in Plant Craft: 30 Projects that Add Natural

Style to Your Home (Timber Press; $25). Fresh and

achievable, the ideas come at the perfect time in the

change of seasons. What better way to add life to

interiors through out the colder months ahead?

THE CASE FOR COOL-SEASON PASTELSCome winter, there’s nothing cozier than spending the day curled in bed with a good book. Los Angeles textile house Matteo makes that prospect infinitely more appealing with its new line of bedding in beautifully subtle colors such as Honey, Blush, Plum, and Frost. All products are made in L.A. and garment-dyed to order, giving them an

ultrasoft feel; at $274 for the queen size, the Vintage Linen duvet cover could certainly qualify as a preholiday present to yourself. matteohome.com.

CAMERA READYIt’s not often you get to rethink an

American archetype. So when Casey Keasler of Casework was asked to work on the Pioneer-

town Motel, 12 miles from Joshua Tree National Park, the designer

immersed herself in the property’s cinematic character. “Cowboy boots, denim shirts, and worn leather” is how the Portland-

based Keasler describes the mo-tel’s persona—an apt description

for tiny Pioneertown itself, found-ed in 1946 by Hollywood actors

such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers as a location for westerns. The 20-room lodge is now a sim-ple yet comfortable retreat with

Southwestern rugs and industrial light fixtures. “It has everything

you need and none of what you don’t,” says Keasler. Still standing

down the street: old-fashioned film façades, including a trading

post and saloon. From $145; pioneertown-motel.com.

Afternoon treats with a Russian twist

Portland’s Vitaly Paley is a master of culinary technique. But for his latest ven-ture, the French-trained chef-restaurateur summons up something much closer to his soul: his Russian heritage and the food traditions he learned from his child-hood in rural Belarus. Set in the storied Heathman Hotel, Paley’s latest venture—

the seafood-centric restaurant Headwaters—features a tea service that celebrates the ceremo-ny and flavors of his homeland. The idea was spurred in part by the success of his pop-up dinner series, DaNet, which regularly sells out at the Portland Penny Diner. “When I cook and taste this food, it has an emotional connection for me. I travel back in time and I’m standing next to my grandmother in the kitchen again,” says Paley of the menu, which features mush-room piroshki; open-face sandwiches called butterbrodi; and tea from a samovar served with homemade jams as sweeteners. The star of the show: his grandmother’s steopka, or sour-cream cake, a holiday staple for the young Paley and his family. “I remember eating this cake,” says the chef, “as far back as I remember eating.” Tea service for two $76; headwaterspdx.com.

OUR FAVORITE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET Marble-topped bistro tables , Mediterranean plantings, and a brick-walled courtyard with string lights and sheepskin throws make Oakland’s Grand Fare Market the kind of place you could linger in—from breakfast to after-dinner drinks. Co-owners Doug Washington and his wife , Freya Prowe , en-visioned a neighborhood gourmet grocer where locally made pantry goods, ready-to-go meals, and a cafe menu would happily coincide. A pint-size flower stall manned by Freya nestles next to a coffee bar bearing snicker-doodle-Nutella sandwich cookies . And while savory items—including a classic meat loaf and potatoes roasted in rotisserie pan drippings —lean to-ward comfort food, the cafe also keeps Marin Kombucha on tap. Here, Doug and Freya share their selections for a Western pantry. grandfaremarket.com.

he RMS Queen Mary, a grand ocean liner that catered to the upper crust in the 1930s, has been a mainstay of Long Beach—and one of its most popular at-

tractions—since it moored here nearly 50 years ago. So when the estimable Queen invites the alt-comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade aboard for a salon series, it’s evident that something is stirring in the Pacific. Other signs: new firepits that warm arriving passengers at Long Beach International Airport and an uncontained enthusiasm from surfers who say that this Los Angeles County town may reclaim its moniker as the “Waikiki of the West Coast” if the breakwater comes down. More staggering are a spate of new shops and restaurants; over the past two years, 900 have opened, according to the city. They’re setting up in pastel bungalows, beneath palm trees, and in shipping containers, a plentiful sta-ple in this port city. In a town of less than a half-million, this qualifies as a sea change. In other words, if you haven’t visited Long Beach in five years, you may not recognize it.

Thank L.A.’s notorious traffic. Those long commutes on the 405 can wear on a soul. So rather than continue to export their creative juices to L.A., residents built new jobs close to home. Why leave the (relatively) affordable sunny coast wedged between Orange County and Los Angeles when it has good schools, Cliff May houses, a thriving arts district, and a music scene whose most prominent mouthpieces are Snoop Dogg and Sublime?

The indie-spirited have always lived in Long Beach, says furniture designer Eric Trine. They just worked elsewhere. Trine’s sought-after geometric pieces are created in his studio here, then sold in stores like West Elm. One of the many entrepreneurs benefiting from the hospitable small-business environment put in place by the current administration, Trine, too, will be open-ing a store (scheduled for late 2016).

The vibe is a little like Portland pre-Portlandia, with just as much bike cred (the city is ranked by the Alliance for Biking & Walking as the third-friendliest to cyclists in the nation) but with more sunshine, a beach, and a few hundred people making waves. Even the Queen Mary is catching the fever, with a $15 million makeover scheduled to be complete in 2017.

Here’s where to see the new Long Beach in action.

DowntownHome to museums, a world-class aquar-ium, and the Queen Mary, the area also features a popular string of restaurants along Pine Street that are packed with locals.

Laurie Gray opened her Kick-starter-funded bak-ery this year after ditching her execu-tive banking gig. What was once a Quiznos in formerly corporate downtown is now The Pie Bar, where Gray whisks coconut cream from scratch, crimps dough, and bakes all varieties of pies. You can sample four tastes when you order a “pie flight”; shot glasses are filled with popu-lar specialties, from Key lime to bourbon pecan. Most flavors also come in mini mason jars for handheld pie on the fly. Gray’s Little Chef oven from her childhood is on display—a nod to how long she’s been dreaming of baking. thepiebarlongbeach.com.

Therapist Bobby

Hernandez is the brain behind Recre-ational Coffee, an avant-garde take on caffeinated drinks such as the Iced Basilfruit, which is iced coffee sweet-ened by a grapefruit, basil, and sugar reduction that brings out the bean’s bright, fruity notes. On the other hand, its evil cousin, the Hoppy Iced Coffee, com-bines cascade hops with iced coffee to create a remarkably IPA-like and pleas-antly bitter punch of caffeine. recreationalcoffee.com.

Though true lam-bic can be made only in Belgium, Gabriel Gordon has built quite the homage to this style of beer at Beach-wood Blendery. With his partner, brewmaster Ryan Fields, they’ve forged a barrel room designed to mimic Belgium’s temperature and humidity. Their beers are served in small pours and bottled in a rustic yet colorful space. Try the lip-puckering sour blondes as well

as the Multi-Barrel Experiment, infused with Rainier cherries and a rich, oaky flavor. beachwoodbbq.com/blendery.

East VillageThis arts district hosts a monthly event where galleries open their doors to the public. A cluster of shops is scattered on First Street.

The first time a shopper journeyed from L.A. just to visit Michelle Qazi’s new curated home-decor shop, Qazi was shocked; now, it’s commonplace for Angelenos to reverse commute to 6th and Detroit. Prices are kept low thanks to Qazi’s obsessive garage- and estate-sale-hunting skills. But it’s how the pieces come together that makes you want to linger. A neutral color palette is livened up by the fairy tale–like case goods, in addition to ceramic owls, mac-ramé hangers, and rare tropical plants potted in wicker baskets. 6thanddetroit.com.

Alamitos Beach A predominantly gay neighborhood with rainbow pedestrian crosswalks, it also has a collection of vintage stores known as Retro Row.

Jolie Dionisio’s Wild Child Partymay excel at uncon-ventional decor for children’s fetes, like cactus birthday candles and marble-ized paper plates. But adults can find plenty of inspiration here too, with a balloon bar, piñata making, and calli-graphy workshops. Dionisio, who styles celebrity events in L.A., says Long Beach was her only consid-eration for setting up shop. After all, it’s a place that embraces fun and innovation—even a store devoted to quirky party pieces would be sure to find its audience. wildchildparty.com.

Rose Park SouthCraftsman bunga-lows add Old World charm to this enclave.

Pro skateboarder turned restaurateur Salman Agah’s first Pizzanista outpost outside of L.A. is housed in a historic bungalow. The Meat Jesus is the crowning glory, with crisped pepperoni, bacon, and anise-seeded sausage topping a sourdough crust. “Long Beach was befitting for Pizza-nista since it has a great music, art, and skate scene,” says co-owner Price Latimer. “It’s also an affordable and diverse community that feels untouched by time.” pizzanista.com.

An expansive outdoor area is the true heart of Res-tauration: brightly patterned pillows propped in wooden

booths are perfect for cheerfully hung-over brunchers pounding Rose Park coffee, and families flock in for early-bird dinners of crunchy parmesan churros. Aside from the eclectic wall decor (vintage tree saws), furnishings are industrial chic, with aluminum chairs and handmade wooden tables; hanging lights cast a flattering glow for the after-dinner crowd digging into the seasonal, inter -national wine list. restaurationlb.com.

Belmont HeightsA family-oriented cranny with yards of palm trees and succulents, this neighborhood has a few small commer-cial districts with indie shops.

When Dayna Mance first opened Prism Boutique, the former Anthro-pologie manager lured the area’s beachy crowd to a then-sleepy corner of Belmont Heights. Now a nucleus of businesses has opened. Together, they collaborate on block party–style events with taco trucks, tempo-rary tattoo stations, and local makers. The shop is stocked with relaxed Coachella-inspired weekend wear, such as rock tees and cropped jeans. Moroccan rugs, geodes-turned-jewelry displays, and custom rope and driftwood art-work add a dash of wanderlust. prismboutique.com.

brunchers swarm restauration for dishes like wood-fired asparagus salad.

Newman says she got the best aurora view of her life: “Huge, vast walls of col-ors washed down—not just green, not just white, but blue and purple and aquama-rine too. As if the sky were melting in Technicolor.” INFO Tours available out of Anchorage and Fairbanks. From Anchorage: 5-day/4-night tour from $1,397/person, including in-state transportation, lodging, and most meals; salmonberrytours.com.

SPOKANE & BEYOND

DIY auroraFreezing temperatures, group tours, and advance planning not your scene? You can make your aurora trip as spontane-ous as the lights themselves. Nearly every month, the aurora dips south to visit the Lower 48, so keep an eye on the sky—via aurora-monitoring websites like gi.alaska.edu and swpc.nooa.gov, the fansite softserve

news.com, and apps such as AuroraTonight. When the stars align (a sighting is predicted, along with cloud- and moon-free night skies), catch a flight to Spokane, rent a car, and road-trip through Eastern Washington and northern Idaho and Montana. “Spokane is a won-derful gateway to exploring the night sky, with ready access to loca-tions that are free of light pollution,” says aurora-obsessed nature photographer Craig Goodwin (craiggoodwinphoto.com). “The most common colors are green and yellow. But when the aurora is strong, red and purple will appear high in the sky—they’re not visible to the human eye, but easily captured by a camera with a long exposure.”INFO Even last-minute flights to Spokane typically cost less than $250 round-trip from many cities in the West. Get Goodwin’s aurora-hunting road-trip route and photo tips: sunset.com/northernlights.

What are the northern

lights?

Think of the sun as a ray gun: It blasts Earth’s magnetic field with gusts of solar wind. These

supercharged particles enter our atmosphere at the North and South

Poles, then bounce off oxygen and

nitrogen particles, creating ethereal flares of light. In

the Northern Hemisphere, we

call this phenome-non the aurora borealis—the

northern lights.

YELLOWKNIFE, CANADA

The Imax viewIn the 1930s, prospectors flooded Canada’s far-flung Northwest Ter-ritories in search of gold. These days, travelers trek to this slice of the Great North for the luminescent greens—and yellows and pinks and reds—of the aurora, which dances in these cold, clear skies nearly every night. For front-row seats, head to Aurora Village, a resort 30 minutes north of Yellowknife, where guides say that, in a three-night visit, stargazers stand a 95 percent chance of seeing the “show.” The adventure begins at 9:30 p.m., when a shuttle whisks you from your in-town lodging to a clutch of glowing tipis (your mercifully warm base for the night’s viewing) strung along the shore of ultra-deep Great Slave Lake. At a guide’s signal, you can step outside, wander the lakefront, and stare up at the animated heavens.INFO Yellowknife is a 2-hour flight from Calgary. Aurora Village: From $490 U.S./person/3 nights, including lodging, local transportation, and winter gear; Nov 20–Apr 14; auroravillage.com.

ANCHORAGE TO FAIRBANKS

Alaska’s greatest hitsRide a dogsled? Check. Sleep beneath Denali? Check. See the aurora borealis? Check. Think of a trip with Salmon Berry Tours as your Alaska bucket list on steroids. After a guide picks you up at the Anchorage airport, you’ll hit the ground running, traveling by dog-sled for part of the trip north to Talkeetna. In this log-cabin town near Denali, you’ll scan the sky for the swirling lights with the Star Lady, a local aurora expert. Then, to improve your odds with the cosmos, you’ll spend several nights north of Fairbanks; there, ac-cording to the local visitors bureau, three consecutive late nights give you an 80 percent chance of seeing the aurora. And staying up past bedtime isn’t that bad, when one of those midnights is spent steaming in the Chena Hot Springs, where Alaska native Leigh

Rocky-desert-meets-the-beach on the tip of Baja in Los Cabos ? Or the wild-yet-intimate jungle-scape of the Riviera Nayarit , north of Puerto Vallarta ? You can’t lose: Both areas provide

myriad new reasons to go, proving there’s more to paradise than lying on the sand. Below, four elements of a great vacation destination, from pools to experiences, where these resorts truly

shine. By Christine Ciarmello, Erika Ehmsen, Trina Enriquez, and Jenna Scatena

Perch yourself on the hammock-strewn terrace at Sayulita’s Haramara Retreat . The salt-water pool sprouts from the jungle , shaping a scene so enchanting, you might feel compelled to skip your flight home. From $164 U.S. ; haramararetreat.com .

As Sunset’s headquarters were relo-cating to Oakland late last year, a group of designers were a few miles away planning the magazine’s 2016 Idea House. Perched in the Clare-mont Hills bordering Oakland and Berkeley , the home was conceived as a tribute to the Bay Area —its ar-chitecture, its quirky character, its spirit of innovation. Facilitated by DFI Properties and Keith Kolker of Landmark Development, architect Robert Nebolon created a five-level , 3,600-square-foot cantilevered home clad in James Hardie siding. To warm up the modern shell, interior designer Lauren Geremia and her team , Emily Ord and Erin O’Brien, mixed ATGStores.com furnishings and paint with vintage items and statement-making pieces by Western artists. The result is a home that feels like a retreat—and offers design ideas around every corner.

3 REIMAGINE THE BACKSPLASH“We wanted to take risks with the wall treat-ments in this house,” says Geremia . In the kitchen, for instance, she applied an Arts and Crafts wallpaper in place of tile to the wall, adding an unexpected burst of pattern. The wallpaper was treated with a Scotchguard-like coating and is covered with tempered glass to protect against water damage. The marble countertop extends to form a back-splash.
