Because let&#8217;s be honest, going out to crowded bars or dealing with the cold loses its appeal real quick when the temperature drops.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Transition is Real:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">From Spooky to Snuggly:<\/b> Right now, everyone is stressing over last-minute Halloween costumes and making party plans for the 31st.

Bring on the rich broths, the heavy carbs, and the endless excuses to order delivery. Working in the restaurant industry, I definitely see the sudden shift in what people are craving the second the weather turns.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Indoor Tax:<\/b> Suddenly, staying in on a Friday night doesn&#8217;t make you boring; it makes you a survivalist.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">Whether you are actively looking for a seasonal plus-one, already cuffed up, or perfectly happy flying solo with a giant bowl of popcorn and a good movie, there is no denying the season is changing.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Are you team &#8220;go out all winter&#8221; or team &#8220;hibernate until spring&#8221;?
