Trick or Treat!

Evan Mulvihill, Trick-or-Treater

Even if you don't have kids, going trick-or-treating is all about picking the right location. You don't want to be knocking on empty houses full of real cobwebs; you want to go to where the costumes are plentiful, the decorations are festive, and the energy is high. Here, 3 favorite spots to trick-or-treat in Chelsea this year.


Mayhem To The Max

Meet first in CCl Moore Park (10th Ave between 21st and 22nd Sts) on October 31st at 6pm. There, kids can compare costumes and enjoy apple cider and doughnuts. Then they'll head over to 21st and 22nd Streets between 9th and 10th to check out awesomely ghostly houses.

One frequent attendee tells us: "People decorate their brownstones in a really over-the-top way,. One guy paints his face white every year and spends the evening in a coffin propped against his stoop. He 'wakes up' and scares the tinies every few minutes."

The shops and fooderies in Chelsea Market will showcase carved jack-o-laterns, and there will be performances by stilt walkers and jugglers, face painting, and more.
