Ah! The holidays are around the corner and I’m still trying to figure out how they’re going to unfold for our family. We want to partake in our yearly traditions but we are very much still concerned about Covid-19, and keeping our community safe. HalloweenΒ is this weekend and I know many families around the country are asking themselves if they’ll trick or treat! With cases on the rise again, it’s incredibly important we manage these special occasions with the outmost of caution. Many NYC annual halloween fairs and festivals are cancelled, but businesses are adjusting to the times, to provide festive fun safely for families of all ages. I hope this list of halloween fun can help NYC readers in making the right decision for their families this weekend.
Wishing you all a spooky fun halloween!

There is always so much going on in NYC. Now that we are dealing with the pandemic, it will be interesting to see how e can still enjoy the city and be safe at the same time.
New York City has so many amazing features. I hope everything there starts to return to its former glory!
That is such an amazing place to go to celebrate this Halloween season and I am pretty sure that kids will really enjoy being there.
I love how NYC celebrates Halloween,so cute and special. Here in Philippines,we are just starting to love it. So sad this year there will be no tricks or treat.
Wow, those are all wonderful places to visit during Halloween. I’m excited about how it’s going to be this year and I hope people don’t forget to be safe and remember the rules.
