If you’re looking for a great place to grab a bite to eat while enjoying the spookiest time of the year in New York City, check out some of these great restaurants and bars.
The Jekyll & Hyde Club

Beetle House
If you’re a fan of Tim Burton, this is the restaurant for you.

Kids are welcome at this establishment if you’re looking for something a little more family-friendly but be warned that many of the staff’s costumes are not meant for the faint of heart, so know if it’s something your child will enjoy before heading over.
One if by Land, Two if by Sea

The restaurant is known for serving upmarket clientele and has even been named one of the most romantic restaurants in the world, but its storied history and frequent ghost tours make it a wonderful place to get some more realistic scares.
