Dress Up

The Halloween industry needs a makeover. Go to any Party City (actually don't ... I just waited in line for 30 minutes) or a pop-up Halloween store and the costumes for sale look dusty and dated. (Speaking of dating, someone actually compiled a list of the Top 10 Halloween costumes to wear on a date) If you're up for it, the city celebrates Halloween for two weeks straight and you can attend everything from lowbrow events to really clever gatherings (like the Starving Artists Halloween Ball) and of course everything in between. I am currently attempting to track down a costume that compliments Nash's hilarious silverback gorilla suit. A friend suggested the Empire State Building. Love it!

ps. if you're dying to get out of this ghost town, check out this great list of Haunted Hotels.
