And that’s no lie. If you’ve never walked around on Halloween around here—particularly before, during and after the Friends of Washington Market Park’s parade and party—brace yourself for a lot of cuteness. (Check out Asha Agnish’s photos from last year.) Here’s a rundown of what’s up this week. Know of other Halloween events? Email me at tribecacitizen@gmail.com or add ’em in the comments. Even New York Dolls is having a costume party—although dressing up strikes me as not quite the point of a strip club….

Note: Torly Kid said that folks had been asking when kids will be trick-or-treating; the shop will begin handing out 23 pounds of candy at of 3 p.m. on Sunday. Are other stores doing it on Sunday, too? Or on Saturday after the WMP event? Let me know and I’ll pass along the info!
