Sandy has put a damper on Halloween this year, and the famous Village Halloween party has been called off. But there are still ways to celebrate — and get yourself and your stir-crazy kids out of the house.
The Museum of Natural History’s trick-or-treating event has been cancelled. And the West 69th Street Block Association has called off its famous Halloween block party, although the block association tells us “some buildings on W69St are decorated, and some residents will distribute candy to the little trick-or-treaters who come by at 6 pm this evening. Parents may bring their children to visit individual lobbies that are open.”
Rookie USA, the sporting goods store on 100th Street sends this: “Schools out! Come Trick-or-Treat with RookieUSA UWS, we will be hosting a costume contest at 4pm. Will you be a winner?” The event lasts until 5.
Sunburnt Calf on 79th will be holding a Halloween bash of the adult variety tonight. Come with or without a costume.
Robofun, an afterschool program at 2672 Broadway between 101st and 102nd is holding a special Halloween event today. The event is open to all families with kids who are 6 to 12 years old. Here’s the description:
