This year, you can visit this city for Halloween by also watching the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade in Manhattan.
Nothing says an iconic stay in New York like a night at the Lotte New York Palace. One of the most storied hotels in the area, a night of luxury at this renovated Madison Ave gem is preferable if you can swing it.
