On Saturday, October 31st, let’s enter the spooky era and watch the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade 🎃🧙‍♀️🔮👻 together. We’ll meet at 5:30pm (or as close to that as possible) on the West Side of 6th Ave and Vandam Street, outside Vought Tower [https://maps.app.goo.gl/T4WCrCTwiFm4zNhT6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/T4WCrCTwiFm4zNhT6) This location might change slightly if it’s very busy lol. We’ll announce changes on the day of. You can join whenever but keep in mind that there's gonna be a big crowd and it might be hard to find or join us after the beginning of the parade (we cannot save room for folks) We’ll be hanging out for a bit as the parade starts at 7pm on Canal Street. We’ll be there til 9pm. We will figure out restaurant plans afterwards. (The parade will continue until 11pm if you wanted to continue watching it) Very important: please allocate additional time to get to West Side of 6th Ave and Vandam Street as many train lines are rerouted and many stations will have entry and exits blocked. It can be challenging even crossing the street because of all the barricades that are put up. If restrooms are needed, we can go to Ciccio Bar across the street since they are open til 11pm but we may need to purchase something Notes on subways! **Arrive by Subway** **NYC subway service changes are coming Halloween weekend!** **Friday, Oct. 30 at 10 PM – Monday, Nov. 2 at 5 AM** * A and C trains will be rerouted in Manhattan and Brooklyn. * Uptown A runs via the F from Jay St-MetroTech to W 4 St-Wash Sq. * Uptown A stops at 23 St and 50 St * Uptown C runs via the ‌F from Jay St-MetroTech to 34 St-Herald Sq and via the D to 59 St-Columbus Circle. * Downtown C runs via the D from 59 St-Columbus Circle to 34 St-Herald Sq and via the F to Jay St-MetroTech. **Saturday\, Oct\. 31 \| 5–10 PM** * Downtown C trains will bypass Spring Street station.
