The Giants are in the World Series. The Michelin stars were just announced. It's almost election time. Only one thing could make this week better: Halloween.

That's right, it's time for everyone's favorite holiday and nobody does it better than San Francisco. (Just look at the Giants' colors, for Pete's sake.) And the only thing we do better than pumpkin patches, ironic costumes and midnight showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show is drinking. Fortunately, all of the above are available all over town.

Check out our editor's picks for the best parties in the city this week. Happy Halloween, San Francisco!
