take the subway to a spooky spectacular


[click on picture to enlarge - taken via iPhone]

This morning, I shared my commute with a super excited Spiderman, Elmo, a little pink princess and an angel. On my way back from work, a little Superman was crying and a pilgrim was sulking. Aaah, all that sugar....

Meanwhile, super excited disguised adults were heading to the West Village for the parade. I did not share their subway ride back home but I am pretty sure one of them was crying and another one must have been sulking. Aaah, all those beers...

But the picture I really wanted to snap for you was this one: the Empire State Building all dressed up in orange lights for Halloween. The picture below is from the ESB website where you can also take a virtual tour, play with the webcam and much more.


NB: The MTA poster reads "Take the subway to a spooky spectacular! The Greenwich Village... Halloween Parade. Vampires, witches and hobgoblins are welcome. And MTA New York City Transis has lots of trains to take you to all the fun! [follows the list of trains and directions].

I tried to go to the parade but the crowd was impossible. So I went to Sheriden Square near Christopher Street and had a ball.

I saw Superman, Wonderwoman, the Incredible Hulk, an Arabian princess, an Asian Elvis, etc.

Next year, I'm going to soooo dress up.

Halloween isn't a big thing in my country...people hear of it and know what it is but well, it's just not celebrated in a fun way, or any way at all. Hahhaa..and also, pumpkins are rare here.

Bonne idée d'illuminer l'Empire State Building en orange pour Halloween ! Grâce à toi , j'apprends qu'il sera rouge, orange, jaune pour Thanksgiving et rouge, vert, blanc pour Noël ! La Tour Eiffel change aussi de robe pour les grandes occasions.
Hier soir, j'ai eu quelques petits monstres qui sont venus sonner à ma porte et sont repartis avec un grand sourire et des bonbons. Dans quel état sont-ils ce matin !!?? Bye

I wish I could have seen kids in their costumes too. Sadly I was indisposed. I bet they looked adorable.

Well, I got to see some very cute (a few of them unbearably noisy) little ones and some very crazy young and not so young adults.

Ever seen a chubby 45 y/o (un)dressed as Paris Hilton? >8()

I had no idea that the Empire State Building's lights changed so often.
