Happy Halloween. While we don’t know which neighborhoods hand out the best candy to trick-or-treaters, we can talk about what candies we think best match the neighborhood’s vibe. Keep reading for all treats, no tricks.

Glenwood South: M&Ms | The party hasn’t started till this classic Halloween candy joins in. Glenwood South and M&Ms are both vibrant, fun, and always welcome for a good time.

University Park: Smarties | This one’s for the students — we can’t prove this candy makes you any brighter, but popping a few sweet Smarties might get you through the late night study sesh.

Boylan Heights: Reese’s Cups | Hear us out: Chocolate and peanut butter go perfectly together in this candy, and we think Boylan Heights’ blend of downtown + neighborhood living are an equally iconic duo.

Five Points: Twix | What’s the difference between the left and right side of Glenwood Avenue at the Five Points intersection? Although Five Points is technically made up of a few different neighborhoods, they’re like the left and right Twix to us.
