    WEEKEND SCENES: DOG HALLOWEEN, HURRICANE PREP, OBAMA & THE DEMON, AND TEDDY ROOSEVELT’S BIG DAY

    Halloween this year will either be a joyous occasion to celebrate the end of our Hurricane-induced incarceration, or a complete washout. It depends on how Sandy treats us. Luckily, humans and dogs got to strut their stuff this weekend.

    Check out some photos below from Riverside Park’s 72nd Street dog run Halloween contest, as well as the Pumpkin Fest in Central Park and a celebration of Teddy Roosevelt at the Museum of Natural History.

    Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate. A detailed statement on comments and WSR policy can be read here.
