If you like packed sidewalks, kids in costumes, and sugar-infused screams, youโ€™ll love Halloween in New York City.

Thereโ€™s no need to venture inside apartment buildings: Plenty of trick-or-treating action happens on stoops or at storefronts, where folks hand out treats.

And while the city allegedly never sleeps, trick-or-treating in town starts as early as 4 p.m. in many neighborhoods, and winds down as soon as it gets dark.

Halloween is a notoriously dangerous day for kids; several studies have found that itโ€™s a day when young children have a higher than average risk of being fatally struck by a car. To help keep kids safe, the city is once again hosting โ€œTrick-or-Streets,โ€ during which dozens of areas across town will be car-free to celebrate Halloween or Dรญa de los Muertos.

No matter your neighborhood, thereโ€™s likely to be some Halloween action nearby. Hereโ€™s a sampling of some festivities around town. Have fun, stay safe and let us know what to add for next year โ€“ weโ€™d love to hear from you!

About 2 miles away, the local businesses on 30th Avenue between 31st and Steinway streets go all out for trick-or-treating.

Local Andrea W. says Owlโ€™s Head Park is a great bet for Halloween.
