Among my new favorite things in Portland since the new year is SLABTOWN (slabtownbar.net), a kick-ass vegan falafel house / game room / bar / all-ages concert venue in the Alphabet District, Northwest Portland (map). This month, The Iced Breaks Crew will celebrate Trish Dish’s birthday in Portland for the 2nd consecutive year and we’re super-sizing the house party we hosted last year. The birthday girl LOVES Slabtown, and their staff loves us, too.
