Hawthorne District
Hawthorne
The most bohemian shopping street in the southeast district, with vintage shops, record stores, a food cart pod, and an old movie theater along the way.
SE Hawthorne Boulevard runs from about 12th Avenue to 50th Avenue, and its core stretch is between 30th and 40th Avenues. The Bagdad Theater, a 1927 movie house converted into a pub-style cinema, is here. Powell's Books has a branch on the street, and there are vintage stores such as Red Light, independent record shops, and a food cart market. You can connect to the parallel Belmont and Division streets, with Division Street becoming a popular dining strip in recent years. Bus 14 runs along the street in both directions, making it ideal for an afternoon stroll.
