We know: you were busy prepping for Sandy this weekend with Sting and didn’t have time to figure out what you’re doing this week for Halloween. Don’t sweat it. We’ve got you covered below.
You enjoy a long night of blackjack. You enjoy it even more when it’s at a casino, followed by a Boardwalk Empire-y party at Shrine at Foxwoods, where you’ll find era-correct costumes (best outfit: $500), flappers and fake mobsters. We think they’re fake. It is a casino...
If you’re looking to go classic Tarzan this year, Rumor’s DJ’d extravaganza is your spot. The bartenders will be covered in animal-y body paint (think: sexy cheetah ladies), with the scene decked out like a jungle nightclub. Note: don’t use the speaker cords as Tarzan vines.
Or if you’re more of a cow-outfit kind of person, you’ll be welcomed at the barnyard-y Salty Pig party on Wednesday night. There will be special bites like crispy pigskins and blood sausage on hand, as well as dinner for two going to the best dressed. You look smashing with an udder.
In its day, Storyville was a Billie Holiday–hosting speakeasy. On Wednesday, it’s reverting to its Prohibition-era energy by way of a Volstead Act–ish bubbly bash, replete with vintage Veuve Clicquot table service, tarot card acts and live fortune tellers. Which may or may not be a woman reading from Fortune magazine.
Get your authentic 19th-century velvet blazer ready: No.9 Park is throwing a Victorian-tinged masquerade ball, where a ticket will equal live jazz, a tartare bar, wine-related games, sweet crepes and housemade French candies. As well as absinthe carafes. Absinthe and no chance of being identified later. Sounds good.
