When Ghosts and Coffees Collide: Halloween Happenings in Tribeca!

From coffee shop closures to pumpkin shows, discover Tribeca's Halloween spirit!

As spooky season casts its spell, Tribeca is buzzing with Halloween festivities and bittersweet farewells! On this Halloween date of October 31, we share some exciting updates only a stone's throw away from fright and fun. Firstly, the beloved Westside Coffee Shop that has graced the corner of Lispenard and Church for an impressive 35 years has decided to brew its last cup at this location. Don’t fret, coffee enthusiasts; the Dominican restaurant is packing its ghostly beans and hauntingly great dishes to relocate to Ozone Park. It's sure to resurrect their flavors, so keep your eyes peeled as their spirit continues to haunt the neighborhood in a new space.

Swinging into the spirit of the season, Ghost Hill is conjuring up eerie vibes in Fredericktown! Halloween is the perfect time to embrace one's spooky side, and the giant skull of Ghost Hill is sure to turn heads — even mobile ones! It serves as a spooky reminder and a fantastic photo opportunity for those brave enough to face its haunting grin. You can explore the many ghoulish installations and eerie attractions popping up around town, making this Halloween a frightfully fun one!

Over in sunny Florida, the United Equestrian Association is inviting members to dress up their steeds and join in on the fun! Last year, Madison James and The Riddler, owned by Julia Bitler, strutted their stuff in costume at the Florida Horse Park, proving that Halloween spirit can ride on four legs too. Imagine crossing paths with a unicorn or a ghostly horse galloping through a pumpkin patch— now that's a sight to behold! Speaking of festive costumes, Wichita Falls held an array of delightful Halloween activities that entertained ghouls of all ages. From "trunk or treats" to dog park costume contests, there’s truly something hauntingly hilarious for everyone this month!

Meanwhile, for those who love the idea of giant pumpkins glowing eerily at night, don’t miss the illuminating display at Pacific Park. The Santa Monica Pier is hosting a free-to-see show that lights up the beach in a spectacularly spooky fashion. With every giant gourd showing off its glittering personality, it’s the perfect backdrop for trick-or-treaters and families looking for that perfect Halloween snap.

As we raise our glasses of pumpkin spice lattes (or maybe just regular coffee from Westside!) to celebrate Halloween, let’s cherish these festive traditions and quirky happenings. Did you know that the largest pumpkin ever recorded weighed a staggering 2,624.6 pounds? That's one gourd that might need its own moving day! Lastly, while your taste buds might have a spooky thrill on Halloween treats, be sure to save a bite for the delicious Dominican dishes waiting for you in Ozone Park – they’ll keep you full long after the ghosts have retreated!
