The Northern Liberties Bloody Mary Challenge will be a true spooky-season smash. With tons of great brunch spots all in a row, the competition caught on in a bacon-infused flash!

From restaurants lining North Second Street and even Jerry’s to the East, one by one from Newsroom and El Camino, did the vampires crave a feast. With Amina and Luna Marre showcasing their humble abodes, the neighborhood will get a jolt from the winner’s red-hot electrodes.

Zombies over 21 will be having tons of fun, but as the locals know brunch season has only just begun. The scene has been rockin’ with vibes off the chart, and as sweater weather takes over remember to tip well and then depart. Guests will include Wolfman, Dracula and anyone in your pandemic pod. No matter who you bring, though, don’t forget to come thirsty with everyone in your squad.
