New York City, Halloween 2025: New York City, New York trip notes

New York City, Halloween 2025

New York City, New York · Trip in October 2025 · By Nick & Carolyn · Posted Nov 2, 2026

Enjoyed it: ★★★★☆ 4/5
Would go back: ★★★★☆ 4/5

We wished we could be there again in 2026, but we'll sure try to make it next year, especially to Lillie's... Worth repeating! 👻💀

We spent Halloween in New York, and it was magical! Beetlejuice on Broadway was amazing. Our favorite NYC bar, Lillie's, did not disappoint! They take pride in bringing the holiday theme to life. The staff were in fun costumes, and the drinks are incredible. If you like a fancy cocktail, this is your place, because who doesn't love one that tastes as good as it looks? The food is great too, and we really enjoyed the charcuterie board with our cocktails. We recommend Lillie's 100%! We also visited the Banksy Museum, a nice self-guided tour that ends in a little shop with Banksy art and keepsakes. If you're an art lover or a Banksy fan, we recommend it!

Standing ovation from us, and from Beetlejuice too!

This guy was definitely the tallest bartender in New York.

The staff at Lillie's go all in on Halloween, and we're here for it!

A fancy cocktail that tastes as good as it looks. Cheers to that!

Our drink came in a popcorn bag, and it tasted just like popcorn too! A Lillie's original.

Our bartender set our drink on fire, and we loved every second of it!

St. Patrick's Cathedral, in all its glory and stunning architecture!

There is always hope... and always a gift shop at the end!
