SIGN UP The DOT kicked off nearly 100 Open Streets, plazas, and other corridors on Halloween night last year, so New Yorkers could enjoy a safe, car-free, trick-or-treating experience. However, this time around the city will host special performances and festivities.
“After a remarkably successful inaugural ‘Trick-or-Streets’ last Halloween, we are proud to bring this event back this year with even more holiday spirit. Open Streets has led to many great programs, ranging from the transitioning of temporary open spaces to permanent plazas, to bike boulevards, and now to the annual Halloween tradition of ‘Trick-or-Streets,’” DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez previously said.
