Halloween is about tricks, treats & family fun. During the day & early afternoon hit the streets with the kids at our favorite neighborhood events (see list below) then book a sitter & head out of the town with your hubby. Here are some of the adult-friendly goings-on we’re most looking forward to…

ADULT FUN
Lincoln Road Halloween is the ultimate spectator sport. Head to Meat Market, where chef/owner Sean Brasel is dishing out a $75 Halloween-inspired price fix menu stocked with items like pumpkin bisque, crispy crab tail, a kobe beef slide duo and a Halloween root beer float. Or, channel an Asian vibe and head to Sushi Samba for a haunted house, music from the house DJ and dessert specials like the Chocolate Grave with Crème Brulee Foam or the Bloody Berries.
Down in the Gables, Randazzo’s gets in on the action with a Halloween Happening featuring half-priced well drinks, an adult costume contest and a party till 2am.
Biscayne’s Mimo District caters to the whole family will about 6pm then goes adults-only with the Sip of Mimo beginning at sunset. Come in costume and enjoy a free cocktail at five participating restaurants.
In Turnberry, Cascata Grille gets "spooktacular" with a $32 three-course themed dinner. Menu highlights include a boil & bubble cauldron calabaza soup, braised beef short ribs with a harvest vegetables-filled mini pumpkin and blood orange crème brule.
Olivos in Doral goes a similar route, awarding every adult in costume a free glass of sangria and dishing out a special Halloween menu. Dinner highlights include pumpkin soup, bloody Mary fish, seared grouper with stir-fried rice and tomatoes and vodka marmalade, lamb stew in a baby pumpkin and passion fruit panna cotta with chocolate sauce.
