  1. 🙂 Guilty as charged, Cobble! But it’s likely a bad idea though. That close to opening (if they are open by then) they’d have no space for 40+ asshats. I loved Bell Jar, just not conducive to conversation because of the noise.

  2. I gave out nearly 300 pieces of candy last night to trick-or-treaters. One of my neighbors dressed her two kids as Jehovah’s Witnesses. I didn’t realize what they were supposed to be until she told me, but the cheap suits and perpetual smiles really provided an air of authenticity.

  3. “I think the new incarnation of Freddy’s (in the former Ellis space) might be open by then, but they are likely to be mobbed with folks welcoming them back into existence.”

    And, of course, it’s incredibly CONVENIENT for SOME PEOPLE! ; )

  4. “I bet there isn’t another neighborhood in the whole country with such a large scale celebration of the holiday.

    A lot of people from out of the area come to the slope to do their trick or treating.”

    Except that no New York nabe made the Top 10 List this year of Best Nabes to Trick or Treat. And I’d say that the Heights and BoCoCa rival Park Slope’s celebration. And, oh yeah, we get a lot of people from outside the nabe trick or treating there too. Jussayin.

  6. true CGar,

    Twix, Crunch, Watchamacallit, Chocolate Malteds,
    Mounds, Milky Way’s….doesn’t matter, I’m a
    sucker for all of those treats!

    …all this candy talk reminds me of,

    “The Disgusting English Candy Drill”

    A candy that “turns out to be luscious pepsin–flavored nougat, chock–full of tangy candied cubeb berries, and a chewy camphor–gum center”

    it goes on for like 5 pages where the
    guy’s describing all manner of horrible candy he’s being
    forced to eat at an old lady’s house.
