This is by no means a complete list, and I might be adding some things over the next day or two, but here’s a brief rundown of a few Halloween-related activities on the Upper West Side.

Most of these are kid/family oriented. If you’re a single adult looking for something to do, I’ve got one word for you: alcohol. It’s readily available at a variety of establishments throughout the neighborhood.
