NCAA Track And Field In Eugene

My first trip to Track Town!

Do you good people have any recommendations for restaurants and places to go?

 

Everyone will say Track Town Pizza, so there's that.

I loved Cafe Soriah (Home), a Mediterranean place.

Agate Alley Bistro is within walking distance from the track, had good meals there.

The Original Pancake House. 'Nuff said.

Sadly, Papa's Soul Food Kitchen closed. That hurts.

 

Dan, when are you in town? I work in Eugene and wouldn't mind taking you out for a bite if our schedules line up.
I keep meaning to try out Sizzle Pie for pizza downtown. Oregon Electric Company is good, though a bit pricey.
Johnny's Ocean Grille in the Oakway Center is pretty good. If you like calzones, the Dough Company is good stuff.

 

Oregon Electric Station? Good call. And yes, a bit on the high side.

I enjoyed the Steelhead Brewery down the street, too.

Forgot to mention Voodoo Doughnut. And Albee's NY Gyros, a hole in the wall place at 391 W 11th.

 

I just got a chuckle out of my AAD when I said I'm taking the BYU and Liberty guys to buy weed legally....

 

Oregon Electric was always the go-to spot for writers traveling into Eugene for football game. It catered the Autzen Stadium press box, too.

 

Prince Puckler's Ice Cream right next to Hayward Field is worth a stop.

Newman's on Willamette has probably the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.

Maybe a half-mile from Hayward you can go see the rock Steve Prefontaine slammed into, killing him.

Highly recommend walking/running Pre's Trail along the river. Beautiful scenery, and a good way to get to Autzen by foot if you want to see the ridiculous football compound.

You can drive up to the top of Skinner's Butte and get a great view of the city.

 

There's a great place on 19th within easy, easy walking distance of Hayward.

Daytonadan, glad you've been enjoying your time in Eugene. Great to meet you today!

 

Fine weather you're having there!

 

June weather is always dicey. This weekend was like late March or April. Other times it can be in the 80s-90s, with pollen counts over the top. Might not be the best place to land for a permanent site, but then again it is pretty much the only place in the country that cares about track.
