Greenwich Village Halloween Parade! 🎃🧙‍♀️🔮👻

We’ll announce changes on the day of. You can join whenever but keep in mind that there's gonna be a big crowd and it might be hard to find or join us after the beginning of the parade (we cannot save room for folks) We’ll be hanging out for a bit as the parade starts at 7pm on Canal Street. We’ll be there til 9pm. We will figure out restaurant plans afterwards. (The parade will continue until 11pm if you wanted to continue watching it) Very important: please allocate additional time to get to West Side of 6th Ave and Vandam Street as many train lines are rerouted and many stations will have entry and exits blocked. It can be challenging even crossing the street because of all the barricades that are put up. If restrooms are needed, we can go to Ciccio Bar across the street since they are open til 11pm but we may need to purchase something Notes on subways! **Arrive by Subway** **NYC subway service changes are coming Halloween weekend!** **Friday, Oct. 30 at 10 PM – Monday, Nov. 2 at 5 AM** * A and C trains will be rerouted in Manhattan and Brooklyn. * Uptown A runs via the F from Jay St-MetroTech to W 4 St-Wash Sq. * Uptown A stops at 23 St and 50 St * Uptown C runs via the ‌F from Jay St-MetroTech to 34 St-Herald Sq and via the D to 59 St-Columbus Circle. * Downtown C runs via the D from 59 St-Columbus Circle to 34 St-Herald Sq and via the F to Jay St-MetroTech. **Saturday\, Oct\. 31 \| 5–10 PM** * Downtown C trains will bypass Spring Street station.

Meet in the Arts

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.
