Easily! But first be aware that All Hallows Eve in NYC is a uniquely grotesque experience I wouldn\u2019t wish on anybody. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s absolutely fabulous in Bismarck, North Dakota.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the city, and in the more residential areas of the outer boroughs, cute kids dressed as princesses and Wall-E scamper up to astonishingly well-decorated suburban homes, say \u201ctrick or treat!\u201d and get a Snickers bar. Adults go to parties with punch bowls. Nice. Sweet. Park Slope-y.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan, meanwhile, is a high-price hellhole.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Halloween lasts <em>for days. <\/em>Vomit on the sidewalk becomes puke-biquitous. Cheap matted fake cobwebs litter Marc Jacobs and Kiehl\u2019s storefronts. Guys who make six figures at Goldman Sachs by day can\u2019t remember their own names as they\u00a0shout in your face like Jack Nicholson in \u201cThe Shining\u201d at last call.\u00a0You can\u2019t get a glass of wine anywhere without paying a cover charge to watch a magician.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/110119halloweenTGB75.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"The annual Village Halloween Parade brings wild nighttime antics to the streets.\" class=\"wp-image-19969541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/110119halloweenTGB75.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/110119halloweenTGB75.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/110119halloweenTGB75.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/110119halloweenTGB75.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The annual Village Halloween Parade brings wild nighttime antics to the streets.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Taidgh Barron\/NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And, oh, the endless preparation.

Halloween 2021 will make SantaCon look like Good Friday.<\/p>\n<p>While Midtown is slowly getting back to its old self before tourists reemerge en masse, downtown has turned into a 24-hour bacchanal of pent-up pandemic energy. Washington Square Park and Gomorrah. LES Vegas. New New Amsterdam. When it doesn\u2019t smell like pot, it smells like PBR.<\/p>\n<p>The other night on East 10th Street, I walked by an NYU student (I have no proof of this, but come on) passed out face first on the sidewalk, surrounded by a group of friends.<\/p>\n<p>Said one of his pals: \u201cDude. It\u2019s 8 p.m.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Child\u2019s play! On Saturday and Sunday, you\u2019ll be stepping over drunken 20-somethings at the crack of dawn like it\u2019s the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Wear good shoes at your peril.\u00a0And take an Uber if you wanna go broke. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Or, better yet, stay home and watch a fantastic New York horror movie like \u201cRosemary\u2019s Baby\u201d \u2014 a film that, even though it concerns a traumatized young wife and a Satanic cult worshipping the spawn of the devil, offers a more civilized vision of the city than anything you\u2019ll witness on this cursed weekend.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
