👋 Carlie here. It's Summerween, that weird time in June when retailers and social media are flooded with spooky decor items.
I love a good gimmick, especially when it comes to leaning into our city's darker side.
I recently enjoyed the "Witches in the Garden" drink at Espiritu. It's an alcohol-free bev that comes topped with a mini witch hat.
Zoom out: Espiritu's housemade hot sauce is also worth a mention.Axios publisher Nick Johnston enjoyed it so much, he checked a bag just to bring home a bottle.
