LOGAN SQUARE—Lula Cafe has "dressed up" for Halloween for years (one iteration, dubbed "Taco Hell," featured Rick Bayless as Satan), but this year will be the last. To celebrate the restaurant's fifteenth anniversary, they will throw a quinceañera (sort of like a "Sweet Sixteen" party) and dress the whole joint up in pink, gold and white. You can still come dressed as you like for the evening. [DNAinfo]
