Produce Row's Seafood Boil; SE Wine's Block Party

CENTRAL EASTSIDE INDUSTRIAL— Produce Row's back patio will be littered in clam and crab shells this Saturday, August 23, as the bar throws its summer-celebrating Seafood Boil from 4-7p.m. Each $17 bucket will feature clams, crab, shrimp, sausages, and two veggies (potatoes and corn), dumped onto newspaper-covered patio tables. A special beer and cocktail menu will be available to pair booze with bivalves. Reservations are appreciated but not necessary; more information here. [EaterWire]

DIVISION/CLINTON— The SE Wine Collective whips out a build-your-own burger bar for its end of summer "Block Party Supper Social" on Sunday, August 24. The $25 entrance gets guests access to the burger bar, a Salt & Straw sundae bar (stocked with candy, berry sauce, hot fudge, and more), and happy hour pricing on wine and beer. Reservations are available by calling the Collective at 503-208-2061. [EaterWire]
