It’s Halloween, and that means the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. I didn’t make it to the Village, but I did get an eyeful of what was heading that way on the train.
My favorite by far was the group of four young women dressed as a mariachi band. They were hilarious, working the train with their guitar, accordian, tamborine, sombreros, and huge mustaches. One of them solicited donations from the other passengers.
The icing on the cake came as I was about to exit. I witnessed an Orthodox Jewish man taking a picture of them with his cell phone. Three of NY’s icons intersecting: subway performers, Halloween, and Judaism.
Lord, I love this town.
