NEW YORK (WABC) — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced the city is launching its largest Trick-or-Streets ever.<\/p>\n
Costume-clad kids will be able to celebrate Halloween in 160 car-free open streets and plazas across the city in October.<\/p>\n
“New York City does Halloween like nowhere else, and this year we’re giving New Yorkers a better, spookier time than ever before. We’re opening up 160 streets and plazas for trick-or-treating, games, music and a whole lot of fun,” said Mayor Mamdani. “And the only cars you should see at Trick-or-Streets are the ones made of cardboard, powered by two legs and fueled by a lot of sugar.”<\/p>\n
They can enjoy face painting, live entertainment, games and neighborhood walking tours.<\/p>\n
The Department of Transportation is expected to give out about 75,000 pieces of candy.<\/p>\n
Street Lab will also create events at public schools across the five boroughs.<\/p>\n
