This is my first Halloween in New York. I’ve always LOVED this holiday, because I get excited about the chance just once a year to dress and act completely ridiculously without consequences. However, this year is a little different. Living here in Brooklyn, I’ve noticed costumes are sorta the norm. OK, maybe I shouldn’t even call them costumes, because in Brooklyn (well… more specifically Williamsburg as this hilarious tumblr points out) people seem to wear such outfits for no particular occasion or season. Whether you’re waiting in line to get a table for brunch on Sunday or simply braving the morning commute, you may just spot a swarm of stormtroopers or hipster zombies. This weekend there’s no question, but if you live in my neck of the woods and you spot such scenes come November… it’s Williamsburg.
