THURSDAY
Halloween Daybreaker Aboard the Hornblower Infinity
Start your Halloween celebration off bright and early with a 6am dance party cruise on the Hudson. Yes, 6am is a frightful hour (pun intended), but there will be breakfast on-board, live music, DJ sets, and, of course, COFFEE. So fear not -- you'll even be back in time for work.
Hornblower Infinity -- Hudson River Park (Pier 40), 350 West St. Thursday October 30, 6:30AM - 8:45am; tickets are $35 and available here.
FRIDAY
HalloQueens! Presented by Susanne Bartsch at MoMA PS1
MoMA PS1's annual Halloween Ball is back in full effect and this year they've teamed up with Susanne Bartsch. They'll be celebrating all things Queen (thought starters include: Queens of Mean, Rock Queens, Queen of the Night) in addition to their current exhibitions, with Boychild, Telfar Clemens, Steven Klein, Eckhaus Latta and more as your royal hosts. Place your bets now for how many Queen Beys you'll spot while dancing to tunes spun by Amber Valentine and Måns Ericson. And don't split out of Queens when the party's over -- after midnight there will be a haunted warehouse after party.
MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave, Long Island City. Friday, October 31, 8pm - midnight; tickets are $15 (After Party is $30) and available here.
Hedwig Halloween
There's probably no better pairing than Halloween and Hedwig. For this Hedwig and the Angry Inch-themed bash, DJ duo Andrew Andrew will be on jams duty as you trail glitter around the dance floor. Remember: glitter is a costume in itself and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The Lambs Club Bar, 132 West 44th Street. Friday, October 31, 9pm - 1am; tickets are $25 and available here.
