    Halloween may look different this year on the Upper West Side, but many Upper West Siders are still getting in the spirit by decorating and planning on Halloween night events.

    Q Florist went all-out as usually on 82nd and Columbus, turning their bear into a veiled pregnant bride, with an angry monkey companion. They look like a nice couple! Thanks to Danny Daly for the photos.

    Mark Maas spotted a brownstone with a slight spider infestation at 44 West 94th Street. Hmm, they might want to get that checked out.

    On 82nd Street between Columbus and Amsterdam, design firm Simon-Wallace got the ghosts ansd ghouls together to haunt their boss’ townhouse. They’re planning to give candy out, using a 78-inch pole. Yes, we did the math that’s slightly more than 6 feet.

    You can add to the list the West 80 St. between Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue.
    We do request that everyone wears a mask and keep a social distance while viewing only the block.

    Have a Happy and safe Halloween everyone!

    I am SO grateful for West Side Rag’s postings such as this!
    I own a pied-a-terre on 72nd. St. between Columbus and Bway., and miss it SOOO much! Due to COVID19 I haven’t been able to visit NYC since February.
    Reading about my much-loved neighborhood is almost as nice as being there.
    THANK YOU!

    My childhood friend in Maine was wild over these decorations. I myself am a bit jaded, took another look, and have great enthusiasm now.
