Treats in the Streets brings Halloween 2021 fun to NYC.

The Meatpacking District’s third annual Doggie Costume Contest will be held at 2 p.m. at the Gansevoort Hotel at Little W 12th Street, with the grand prize being a free night’s stay at the Gansevoort Hotel, which is dog-friendly. Registration goes until 1 p.m. inside the hotel.

(A tip for large dog Halloween costumes – they can wear adult human clothes pretty comfortably.)

For adults, they can enjoy some alcoholic beverages at Alice + Olivia or the Gansevoort Hotel, or sample beer from Blue Point at the 14th Street Park. Kids can trick or treat Diane Von Fustenberg and Serafina Meatpacking, TriangleLoft is hosting a haunted house for those guests who enjoy those, and Neighborhood Goods is hosting a dog and owner portrait session.

Businesses offering trick or treating for the human kids include Amy’s Bread, Best Burger, Chelsea Market Baskets, Damselfly Flowers, Diane Von Furstenberg, Serafina Meatpacking, Sneakers N Stuff and Theory. Other businesses in the neighborhood will offer a variety of apple cider, assorted baked goods, beignets, doughnuts, muffins, pumpkin spice lattes, ravioli, assorted salty snacks and whoopie pies.
