There's also fun stuff to do on Friday, October 30. The Roosevelt Island PS/IS 217 PTA is having a Halloween Carnival from 3-6 PM

and the East Midtown Partnership

is inviting Roosevelt Island kids to Trick or Treat from 4-8 PM starting at the Manhattan Tramway Plaza:

... We’re inviting children 12 and under and their families to trick-or-treat at our local businesses and enjoy a special Halloween film screening of "Hocus Pocus" the upstairs café at Whole Foods, 226 East 57th Street. It’s a great way for parents to learn more about the businesses in our area, and for children to collect their Halloween bounty in a safe and fun environment.

Interested in joining us as a trick-or-treater? Check-in and pick up your trick-or-treat bag starting at 4:00 PM @ Tramway Plaza, 59th & 2nd Ave, and snap a family photo in our spooky photo booth! Or @ the Harman Flagship Store, 527 Madison Avenue, where there will be treats for adults, too!...

Have fun!!!
