Costumes
It's Halloween and time for all the
true ghouls of New York City to crawl out of their
subterranean haunts and hit the streets to blend
in with the local populace! But if you are not a
true ghoul and need a few pieces to update your
"Queen of the Night" look, the first stop
on your Halloween journey should be New York's fabulous
year-round Halloween store, Abracadabra, located
at 19 West 21 Street, between 5th and 6th Avenue.
October hours are everyday, 11AM to 9PM. See www.abracadabrasuperstore.com
for more information.
Also, this year, Ricky's is making
a major play for your costume dollars with a lot
of fun-with-Sarah-Palin costumes:
Halloween
Adventure House
And then off you should go to New York's artisitic
haunted house.
