Flying solo in PDX this weekend, your tips and suggestions?

My wife is at a conference outside of Portland in Clackamas and I came along. I'd like to have suggestions on what to do all day tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday on my own, as I explore the city while she is busy. It is my second time in Portland but I am still very unfamiliar with the city. Your suggestions and stories and must dos welcome!!

I'm at the hotel right now and am venturing into Portland tomorrow morning. We leave Monday. I have no car and will be relying on Lyft to get me downtown and back. I am trying to figure out an itinerary of things I can do tomorrow and Sunday on my own that are fun doing solo, that are relatively walkable and interesting. I love art, books and theater. I love coffee and beer and fun cafes and people watching. I'd like to have a couple concrete destinations to check out and then fill in with stops along the way. My budget is flexible, just want to have some good stuff in my plans from people who know what they are talking about! Keep in mind I don 't have a car except Lyft. TIA!
