Halloween is right around the corner and a great time to treat yourself during this election.

The Entyse, Wine Bar & Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Galleria (1700 Tysons Blvd. in McLean) announced its spooky Halloween specials, which will be served through this month.

Their top hits are maple pepper bacon macaroni and cheese, served in roasted baby pumpkins, Bulleit bourbon pumpkin milkshakes and pumpkin maple creme brulee, served with fresh berries and molasses cookies.

Also at the Ritz-Carlton, you can take a pumpkin carving class on Oct. 22 and attend a “Halloween spooky tea” on Oct. 30.
