Hallows' Eve on Broad, The Planets at the Halloran, and a horror-movie dinner marathon

If you missed it, here's yesterday's Halloween weekend guide.
☕ Byway today
Sea Isle — 7 AM–1 PM
Cordelia's Market — 7 AM–1 PM
That's per their posted schedule, and the trailers do move — their IG has the full week. New here? Our coffee guide has the story on the Airstream that comes to you.
☀️ Today in Memphis
