Is Bigger Boo Better?

pa310010The 2009 New York City Halloween Parade was a rainy spectacle with substantial participation despite the weather.  Pictured are two members of the Patrick Lilly Group:  Indiana Soto and Flapper Kriegstein. 

Maybe I’m getting old, but I truly prefer the old parade when it lumbered through the side streets of the West Village.  Gone were the drunks and the massive crowds.  It felt like a small town parade, albeit a town that is hyper liberal.  Instead of one large parade, I suggest we hold many smaller parades for each of our communities where intimacy and ownership reigns.  I like my ‘Boos’ without the Booze.

  1. This was my first year attending the Halloween Parade after living in Manhattan for 15 years. We could not even get close to the parade but really enjoyed sitting in a cafe and taking in the sites. If you have never been you should go, at least once. One of those moments where you stop and say WOW I really live here, I live in NYC. I love NY.
