'Tis the season...
...for all things spooky! I love this time of year, not only because I'm a big Halloween fan, but the light and sky cast an other-worldly atmosphere over the city. Buildings and places that look totally harmless in bright sunlight suddenly take on a sinister air...

20th Annual Halloween Dog Parade
What could be better than dogs in costumes? The annual Halloween Dog Parade is happening in Tompkins Square Park on Saturday, noon to 3pm.
Dachshunds dressed as hot dogs never gets old! One of my faves from previous years was a black lab dressed as a Swiss army knife. This is, in my opinion, one of the most creative and enjoyable events in the city, so don't miss it!

Celso
The first time I noticed the work of Celso, it was of a mural on E. 2nd Street depicting nude women on a jungle-leaf background. The entire wall was covered in graffiti, but that little patch drew my eye every time I walked by and I remember thinking his was a style I'd not seen before and I liked its beautiful simplicity.
Sadly, that original mural is now gone, but Celso's works can be found all over the city...

Parkside
I remember trekking out to the Parkside years ago to see local bands and enjoy cheap drinks. I recall ordering vodka with orange juice and being told they did not stock juice...how to make a screwdriver? My drink arrived day-glo orange and I didn't bother asking.
Back then, the Parkside felt like it was on the edge of civilization, way out on Attorney Street, which felt so distant and desolate late at night...and nowhere near a park. I went in recently on a Sunday afternoon and was happy to find the place empty, save for a lone pool-player. The interior looks a lot less divey than I recall, but I was still pleased to see all the board games and game tables, instantly making me feel at home.
