Halloween 2010

Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year in New York. And below is a list of some of the characters I saw on the subway from Jefferson Street here in Bushwick to Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, and at Studio Squared last night.

- A slutty ballerina covered in blood
- Fred Flintstone
- Death
- Miss Geisha Sashimi
- Wolverine and Storm from X-Men
- A dirty grandmother
- Bob Marley
- A football player with an actual jock strap
- Wonder Woman
- Divine
- Jackie O
- King Tut and Nefertiti
- A Chiquita banana
- Snooki and Pauly D from "Jersey Shore"
- A stoned astronaut (a true space cadet)
- So-called Revenge of the Nerds

Chilean miners were not among those into whom I ran last night, but the hundreds of children who trick-or-treated on Knickerbocker Avenue earlier this afternoon certainly learned Halloween can prove quite lucrative in the candy department. Here are a couple of pictures from Circo's at the corner of Knickerbocker Avenue and Hart Street around 1:30 p.m.
