This Columbus Day weekend, the Park Avenue Armory is hosting an indoor Carnival! Yesterday our photographer Katie Sokoler dropped by to check out the 55,000-square-foot space's transformation into a fun house—here are some photos of what it'll look like, including the 50-foot Ferris wheel centerpiece. Not pictured: the stilt-walkers, jugglers, contortionists and magicians! There will also be traditional carnival fare, like cotton candy, candied and caramel apples, a variety of foods-on-a-stick (including rock candy, chicken 'lips,' thunder pickles, and chocolate covered cheesecake).
The best part? Kids under 13 get in for free! Adults pay a $5 entry fee, and you can pay $20 for an unlimited ride wristband (otherwise it's $1.25 per ticket, and each ride or game requires 3-5 tickets).

LCD Soundsystem also uses synthesizers. Ok, maybe not the same thing. But it's still a great month for music in NYC.
