No costume yet? No problem. We enlisted the help
of several local Halloween fanatics who shared their
favorite costumes from years past, complete with their
tips and tricks for creating the looks (page 37).
Now that we’ve covered the tricks, let’s move onto the
treats. You can find 380 pastries, 52 kinds of chocolates,
and more at Biskoti, which took over the Flo Lounge
location last month (page 20).
Still hungry? Try urban desi eatery The Gully on
Steinway, featuring dishes from places like Bangladesh,
Delhi, Mumbai and South India (page 14). Then grab a
drink at the newly redesigned Sweet Afton, celebrating
10 years in Astoria (page 32).
