Hey everybody, it's National Marijuana Day, right? Or something like that. In any case, it's April 20th and it's Monday, two prime excuses to snack like a hungry teen. Here are three ways to chow down.

MUNCHIE CONE — You would expect a restaurant with the name Cheese and Crack Snack Shop to be an expert in all things munchie. And, judging by this delectable ice cream mash-up, it is. In celebration of #420 it's offering this amazing Munchie Cone today only.

PDXiCALI — Fenrir, which is usually closed on Monday nights, is opening its doors for PDXiCALi, a Mexican-ish pop-up party tonight only. The short, snacky menu includes chorizo tacos and carnitas tacos ($2.50), nachos built on housemade chicharrones instead of tortilla chips ($6), and housemade Choco Tacos (!!). To drink: tequila, margaritas, Pacifico and Mexican Coke, plus something called Orange Bam!

PDXiCALi 420 is TONIGHT!Come party with us and eat tacos and chill and listen to our favorite music and drink ¡orange BAM! and have fun on this lovely day!
