A few minutes west, Buttons hosts its first costume party at 9 p.m. Saturday, with prizes going for best and worst get-ups. There’s also a look-a-like contest for anyone who comes as chef Keith Hicks, and the party band, Second Nature, will be playing for the crowd. Scary drink specials are promised, and chef Hicks will put on a free midnight breakfast buffet. There’s a $5 cover charge for the party.
