Luna Lu

Luna Lu is serving something special for Ghost Festival, and it won’t be on the menu for long. The Black Margarita is made with Herradura tequila and finished with lime sugar and charcoal sugar. It’s smoky, dark and made exclusively for Ghost, so if you want a taste, you’ll have to catch it while the festival’s on.

Como Italian

Como Italian has conjured up a Ghost-exclusive menu that’s only here for the festival. The main is an ink squid and pumpkin ravioli filled with crab and mascarpone, served in a butter and parmigiano sauce. Pair it with the Vampire’s Kiss Spritz, a hauntingly refreshing elixir of deep pomegranate and lush blueberries with a splash of tart lemon juice. It’s layered with sweet grenadine, topped with bubbly Prosecco and a splash of club soda for a bloody delicious finish. Once Ghost is over, so is the menu.

Sicilian Restaurant

For Ghost Festival only, Sicilian Restaurant is serving a menu you won’t find any other time of year. Start with the Bocconcini Eye Prosciutto ($18), a creepy little starter that’s watching you back. Follow it with the Pumpkin Sage Ravioli ($31), then raise a Vampire Negroni ($28) to the night. Three dishes created just for Ghost, and gone when the festival ends, so come hungry and come early.
