Halloween is almost upon us! Are you so excited about your slutty whatever costume? If you don't have plans yet, our picks are in our weekend newsletter, and the Daily News has some tips for tots on where to Trick or Treat — noting that city kids often get ripped off when it comes to procuring Halloween candy.
We know the High Line is out, but the paper suggests you head to the likes of Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Sunnyside Gardens, Riverdale and Whitestone to get your sugar fix. Surely these suggestions aren't realistic for everyone, however — don't stores and folks in apartment buildings still dish out the sweet stuff?
For the older crowd, don't forget the annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade strolls through town tomorrow night starting at 7 p.m. Send us your photos of any tricking, treating, costuming, canine costuming, decorating, haunting and other assorted seasonal shenanigans you spot around town!
