WHO DOES HALLOWEEN BETTER THAN TRIBECA?
I don’t care what the West Village or Cobble Hill say, no neighborhood could be more lively on Halloween than this one. Big thanks as always to local shopkeepers who keep the fun alive.

ARE YOU READY TO MEET
THESE ESTABLISHED ARTISTS?
Carlos Genova & JC Cepeda will showcase new collections at 72 Warren Street from November 4 – 10. The opening reception is tonight from 6 to 9 pm. Genova, influenced by Picasso’s early cubism style derived from African masks and sculptures, integrates figurative shapes in his new series “Portraits of (Re) Flection.” Elongated figures, with unique compositional backgrounds are balanced in subtle and aesthetic ways. In contrast, the work of Cepeda highlights an admiration for color and form. In his new collection, “Primal Shout,” primitive images are combined with modern techniques, displaying expressive figures that capture a balance of light, color, and form. / Sponsored

WHERE IN (NOT) TRIBECA?
