NYC: All Hallows' Eve 2016
OK, so maybe your neighborhood isn't doing Halloween on steroids the way mine is right now. (Seriously, where do these people find the time...and storage!)
But that doesn't mean you can't still get into the spirit with some ghoulish events around town! Here are a few great events happening around NYC to celebrate my birthday Halloween.

Crossroads Haunted Masquerade Party at the Paper Factory
It's part masquerade party, part haunted house (via transformed hotel), part musical journey. While roaming through different musical spaces, guests immerse themselves in theatrical experiences. Sounds kind of awesome!

When: Friday, Oct. 28, 9 p.m. to 4 a.m.

43rd Annual Village Halloween Parade
If all else fails, you can always check out the massively popular (but worth it) Halloween Parade in the village. I'm opting for the quieter and more kid-friendly version in my neighborhood because frankly I'm tired of this. Also I'm lazy and don't want to leave Brooklyn.
Where: 6th Ave from Spring to 16th streets
When: Monday, Oct. 31 from 7 to 10:30 p.m.
