Halloween Happenings & Specials at Artusi, Mezcaleria Oaxaca, and Beyond

Welcome to a special Halloween edition of EaterWire. We may have more spooky restaurant events to report throughout the week, but here are a few to get you going.

WALLINGFORD, MUKILTEO — Ivar's Salmon House and Ivar's Mukilteo Landing are pouring a range of "spook-tacular" cocktails and mocktails all week long, through Saturday. Highlights include a Blood Orange Margarita, Peaches & Scream (sparkling wine mixed with white peach puree), and more.

BALLARD — Head over to King's Hardware Saturday night to find guest DJ Blazon Stone spinning fright-filled jams "and stealing souls" from 9 p.m. until late. Costumes, of course, are encouraged. [EaterWire]
