The Lower East Side is always bustling around the week of Halloween. This year, Amuse Wine Bar is your neighborhood destination for two themed celebrations. On Friday, October 25, owners Rebecca Lemon and James Chiang are hosting a wonderland themed Mad Hatter Tea Party, swapping out tea for "adult grape juice," of course. The party will be held from 9 PM to 2 AM with creative costumes encouraged with tunes from Hot Club of Flatbush. On Saturday, October 26, Amuse is going back to the 20s with a Flapper Themed party. Come in your best Great Gatsby era costume to groove to their house gypsy jazz band, JAZZINGARO with Charlie Roman.

If you're looking for a real club experience this Halloween, put on your dancing shoes and head to Marquee on Friday, October 25 to party like you're in Ibiza with the legendary underground DJ, Marco Carola. Marquee and Music On, Ibiza's most sought after underground electronic party, will be partnering to present Marco's first US residency this Halloween.

The always hilariously charming ladies of the Haus of Mimosa, Auntie Anita and Auntie Gina Marie, along with KTCHN Restaurant, present their Brunch Spooktacular on Sunday, October 27th. Enjoy your favorite brunch plates along with spooky cocktails and side-splitting laughs for the whole family. Go ahead and make it a boozy afternoon for those over 21 with KTCHN's $25 bottomless mimosa offer. Costumes are strongly encouraged for both children and adults.

Check into W Hoboken for VIP access to their two Halloween parties hosted at Chandelier Room, the on-property lounge.

As part of the party package, get ready with Urban Decay Mini Eye Shadow Primer Potion, Mini All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, 247 Glide-On Lip Pencil and Revolution Lipstick – everything you need to set your makeup look for the night then sip on two themed cocktails in The Living Room.

Furter?
