Okay folks, it’s take two for the best weekend in New York. Twelve months prior, we were so rudely interrupted by Sandy, but this year it’s all systems go. Here’s my piece from last year, explaining exactly why it’s the best weekend to be a New Yorker. Re-read it, commit it to memory, then live it. That’s all.
The second most famous Halloween Parade in NYC takes place right here in LIC. It features the next generation of A-Rod’s, Madoff’s, and Miley Cyrus’. It starts at 4:45pm at Gantry Park on October 31st. Don’t forget your cameras, this is history in the making.

October 30, 2013 at 7:45 amThat 47th Rd. project looks awesome. Too bad I won’t be able to afford it at $1,200 sq. At least, that’s my guess….

October 30, 2013 at 8:36 am$1200 a sq. ft is a very good price for a newly built 3-bdrm. It should get quickly snapped up, especially since it looks like it is going to be well built and aesthetically pleasing.

October 30, 2013 at 3:27 pmEvery year at the Halloween Parade there is a big throng at the beginning due to the pig in a python effect. With more new buildings and thus young participants, it should be worse than ever this year. Can anyone come up with a solution to alleviate this problem?
