Halloween to most means 50 cent candy, kids clad in costumes, pumpkins and naughtiness after dark. The hauter way to do All Hallow’s Eve involves upscale hotels, hot eats and many more treats than tricks.

Dim Sum in the Dark at Sunda
Have a feeling you might be too old to go trick-or-treating? Want a break from the usual Halloween mayhem? Be sure to check out “Dim Sum After Dark,” a two-night event hosted by Sunda in River North. Dim sum plates cost $8.88 each (the numeral 8 is one of the luckiest numbers in Chinese culture, as the shape of the number is similar to that of infinity and the pronunciation of the word “eight” in Chinese sounds like the word that means “prosper”). The restaurant’s list of signature and classic sushi rolls will also take the spotlight, ranging from The Ultimate Handroll to its sashimi selection. Sunda’s Halloween celebration lasts until 1 a.m. each night, allowing diners to escape the costumed chaos that is sure to surround the restaurant during the last weekend in October.
