Happy Halloween!
Whether you’ve been planning your costume for months or got creative at the last minute with whatever was in your house, show off your work at Pinstripes’ costume contest. You can also satisfy your Halloween hunger at DMK Burger & Fish with their milkshake loaded with sweet treats.
Although this weekend starts off with candy and costumes, there is more to do once that sugar coma passes. Enjoy two shows—one that will keep you laughing in the ‘burbs and one celebrating opera in Chicago with some Hollywood stars—or get some retail therapy.
Here are five things to do this weekend:
