PJ's Studio: Halloween Gone Wild

Sunday, October 29, 2023

NYC has its mojo back!

It has been decided by mutual acclaim that it is time to finally move on from Covid.

Not that it’s actually gone.

(I finally got it in June. And one of my favorite vendors at the Union Square Farmer’s Market got it a couple of weeks ago.)

But now that it is no longer as scary as getting pushed off of a subway platform – New Yorkers’ number one fear – it’s time to party on.

And enjoying Halloween is a great place to start.

It’s always been a fun holiday with many of the brownstones in the Upper East Side historic district competing for “best on block.”

This year it has exploded and apartment buildings are getting in on the action – a reflection of the fact that people are happy again.

I avoid photographing the displays that are gory. And favor the ones that are funny.

And of course I’m always looking for something other than skeletons! (They are clearly the most popular choice.)

This year, I have plenty to choose from. More next week, and here are some pics from previous years…

Happy Halloween 😊

Cheers!
