Looking for something unique and fun to do during Looking for something unique and fun to do during the spookiest of seasons? We recently jumped aboard the Seadog Haunted River Tour from @citycruises which runs Thursday-Sunday through Oct. 31. The 45-minute BYOB cruise explores the haunted history of the Windy City and offers some of the best views you will get anywhere, all while getting you into the Halloween spirit with some spooky storytelling. Perfect cap to the evening if you had the kiddos with you? @jojosshakebar in River North, especially if it’s warm enough to sit outside in their fall-themed patio.
