Gus,
If you could provide information about bus rerouting, that would be of great help.
Thank you for sharing this! We have taken our kids to 69th street in past years (always a blast but crowded) but will give the other streets a try this year
Hmm, does anyone know if this means there will be no trick or treating on 87th between West End and Riverside this year?
