Brooklyn gets darker on Halloween night. Two floors, two completely different vibes, one party: come in costume, disappear into character and dance until late.
A family lived here. One night, nobody made it out. Move room by room through a one-hour haunted house with live actors, intense scares, an interactive family mystery and a short escape challenge.
Your Halloween costume has plans. A full night of Latin music, dancing and drinks in the heart of Astoria: reggaeton, bachata, salsa, merengue and dembow until 4 AM.
Enter if you dare. Long Island City turns into a dark, seductive speakeasy for Halloween weekend: loud music, flowing spirits and a party that never dies.
Brooklyn's darkest reggaeton party takes over Don Rique. Haunting energy, nonstop Latin rhythm, seductive costumes and Halloween surprises.
