Come celebrate Halloween (costumes not required) with Ed and your fellow Edsters! He'll be at Cub Room (On Sullivan and the corner of Prince) throwing back $6-domestic beers the night before Halloween, AKA Mischief Night, from 7-9 p.m. There will be plenty of candy and, of course, plenty of mischief! Hope to see you at the witching hour.
