SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27
Since Dick's Last Resort (Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Quincy Market Building, Boston, 617.267.8080) is over the top on an average evening, it's no surprise that its Halloween bash at has the reputation for being one rowdy good time. Tonight from 5 p.m. to closing, it's Eat, Drink & Be Scary. Soul City provides the tunes, but the real entertainment comes from your fellow partygoers, all decked out in full Halloween regalia. And dressing up isn't without its advantages: first prize in Dick's costume contest is $200 in cash. Mingle with assorted ghosts, goblins, and other spooky folk over "severed finger foods" like Dracula Queso, Bat Wings, and Monster Balls, and quench your frightful thirst with a potent potion. There's no cover charge, leaving you plenty of cash to send a round over to that coven of witches you've been eyeing all night.
