CHICAGO — We like Halloween candy too, but be sure to leave room in your stomach for visits to these places.
• Get in the spirit of Dia de Los Muertos, with a feast featuring veal heart and grasshoppers at Wicker Park's Takito Kitchen.
Through the weekend, the restaurant is offering a $16 Day of the Dead taco plate featuring grilled veal heart, hibiscus tortilla, pickled squash, arugula, purple cayenne hot sauce and chapulines, also known as grasshoppers.
The restaurant will be decked out with sugar skulls and an altar — true Day of the Dead decor — while servers will be wearing face paint. Be sure to try the special Milagro punch for $7 that will be served in traditional clay cups.
