Halloween revelers of all ages—and all species—will descend upon the Meatpacking District on Sunday, October 22 for the area's annual Halloween celebration, Treats in the Streets.
From 11 am to 5 pm, the west side neighborhood will be offering all treats and no tricks at participating restaurants and businesses, including complimentary pumpkin ravioli and hot apple cider at Serafina Meatpacking, tarot card readings at Chelsea Market (on 15th Street from 2-3 pm), free hot beverages at Artists & Fleas, festive cocktail specials at the Gansevoort Hotel's Coffee + Cocktails and The Chester, and dried fall floral arrangements at The Old Yew Plant Shop, among much more.
Learn how to Michael Jackson's famous "Thriller" dance with a special “Groove with Google” class at the Google Store on Ninth Avenue, take the kiddies pumpkin painting and crafting with Meatpacking Makers on West 13th Street, listen in on a Drag Queen Story Hour with comedy queen Harmonica Sunbeam, and get your favorite furry friend immortalized with two sessions of pet portraits by Laura Baran on Little West 12th St (from 11am-2pm and 3-5 pm).
And speaking of those beloved pets, Treats in the Streets' headlining event is the Meatpacking District’s 5th Annual Doggie Costume Contest on Little W 12th St. After both pups and their owners strut down the runway showing off their costumed best, a panel of judges will decide the top three looks of the day. The winner will receive an overnight stay at the dog-friendly Gansevoort Hotel, while second and third place will be awarded gift cards to Beasty Feast.
