Halloween Night

I look at Halloween as the beginning of the holidays.  First off, everyone from toddler to adult enjoys Halloween.  It's not for kids anymore.  During the daytime, you'll see children going around in costumes and in the evening the adults join them.  I spent my evening at Luke's and snapped this pic.

Let's see, there's a flapper, a cab driver, devil, hippie, with Mario being the DJ.  The restaurant was all decked out in cobwebs and there was a scary portrait on the wall.  The food at Luke's, by the way, is so delish.

Now a lot of people go to the Halloween Parade but unless you have one of those great apartments that overlook the parade route, you're not going to see much and it's such a crush that it's not fun at all.  I had more fun walking around 14th Street Square because everyone is still in costume and just came out of the parade.

Tis the season to be Pumpkin!

I love fall.  There's a crispness in the air, the fall colors are in bloom and the light on a sunny day seems to make everything more vivid and festive.  I was walking down 34th Street, past Seventh Avenue when I saw all these pumpkins.  Pumpkins in New York?  You betcha!

As a jaded New Yorker, I'm surprised no one has tried to steal them.  However, It could be that there are cameras keeping an eye on them to prevent any petty thievery.  And this wasn't the only one.  The whole block was lined with these pumpkin displays.

You can see spots of orange past all the people.  And all the girls are so fashionable.  They're wearing high boots or booties with close fitting jeans and short jackets.

Warn Everyone About These Two Guys!!

Maksym and Denys Pashanin

I read about these two guys who were taking advantage of short-term rentals in order to squat, according to a Flyertalk article.  Read all about it here.
