Slay the City Halloween Walk & Bus Tour
Festive walk + bus adventure with Halloween themed local stops!
What to Expect
Experience Halloween in two of New York City’s most beautiful neighborhoods on this Upper West Side & Upper East Side Halloween Tour, with a short walk through Central Park connecting the two! This festive combination of guided neighborhood walks, seasonal stops, and comfortable bus transportation is operated and guided by New York City Kopp and Jen From The City. Expect decorated brownstones, fall foliage, neighborhood stories, and one of NYC’s great everything-you-can-find markets, with a special Halloween twist for the day!
Our bus departs from our meeting location near the Hudson River & 42nd Street, but your Halloween adventure truly begins on the Upper West Side, with time to explore the Grand Bazaar’s Halloween-themed market.
From there, we’ll head into the neighborhood with Kelly and Jen, walking some of our favorite brownstone-lined streets, where New Yorkers go all out with pumpkins, cobwebs, skeletons, ghosts, and wonderfully creative Halloween displays.
Next, we’ll trade brownstones for fall foliage with a short seasonal stroll through Central Park. It’s our little autumn shuffle from west to east about 20 minutes surrounded by one of New York City’s most beautiful places at one of its prettiest times of year.
We’ll emerge on the Upper East Side, where our bus will be waiting to take us to one final special Halloween stop. We’ll finish at a favorite decorated brownstone for our Stoop & the City final shot, the perfect spot for one last Halloween photo before hopping back aboard for our return to Bryant Park.
