Hudson Square Eateries Come Together To Help Celebrate Halloween

HUDSON SQUARE, NY — Hudson Square restaurants have joined forces to help lower Manhattanites celebrate Halloween with spooky cocktails, food choices, and other festive design choices.

Eateries and beverage retailers in the Hudson Square Business Improvement District (BID) have designed tasty and terrifying treats for customers to enjoy.

The business improvement group has overseen Hudson Square since 2009, which then was formally known as the Printing District. The neighborhood exists between Clarkson Street on the north, Canal Street on the south, Sixth Avenue on the east, and West Street on the west.

Hudson Square has an annual Halloween celebration, but this year the Business Improvement District is adapting its festivities to uphold appropriate coronavirus precautions.

"Halloween has always been a unique and special time in Hudson Square when the neighborhood is really able to channel and celebrate its creativity," said Ellen Baer, the president and CEO of Hudson Square BID, in a news release. "This year our Halloween traditions look a little different, but we look forward to enjoying spooky concoctions together and highlighting the talent of our food and beverage retailers."
