Spooky Season, Manhattan Skyline: Halloween at Starchild

What Are Some Fun Ways To Celebrate Halloween in Manhattan?
Halloween in Manhattan is an experience you simply won’t find anywhere else. During the spooky season, the city transforms — the streets fill with costumes of trending ghouls and goblins, while rooftops glow in the night from Halloween celebrations throughout the city.
If you’re planning a night out for Halloween, Starchild Rooftop Bar & Lounge should be at the top of your list. Located on the 27th floor of the Civilian Hotel in Manhattan, we offer the ambiance and vibes you’re looking for.
What Makes Halloween in New York City a Memorable Experience?
There’s no shortage of ways to welcome the spooky season in New York City. Whether you’re wandering through the Village Halloween Parade, taking a haunted history tour, or catching a show in the Theater District, there are plenty of ways to soak in the charm of Halloween in the big city.
However, when it’s time to connect with your favorite people and celebrate the nightlife in New York in style, Starchild offers a destination that’s simply out of this world.
Our rooftop transforms into a destination that’s quintessential New York — good vibes, great food, and better company.
It’s this feeling of being on top of the world (literally via our rooftop lounge) that gives you a new perspective of the city as the lights twinkle below.
During any day of the year, it’s a moment to soak in and enjoy, but during Halloween, it’s a moment that memories are made of.
What To Consider When Planning a Halloween Night Out
As you plan your evening out on the town during Halloween, there are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. After all, as with any outing, knowing what to expect (at least in part) can be the difference between a mundane day or an evening to remember.
Here’s what to know.
Book Your Reservations Ahead of Time
If you’re planning on dining out during Halloween, make sure to book your reservation well in advance. Restaurants throughout the city, including elevated establishments, fill up fast during the holiday and quickly run out of space.
Call ahead as early as possible to make sure you’ve secured your table!
Plan Your Commute
Traffic and rideshare surges can get really spooky on Halloween. Know your route, consider public transit, and give yourself extra time, no matter where you’re traveling.
If you’re traveling with a group, make sure to give yourself an extra cushion of time to avoid the delays that come with traveling in a pack.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone and Celebrate
As one of the few holidays in the year that give you permission to be someone else, make sure to go the extra mile to unwind and enjoy yourself. This goes beyond your costume too.
Try a cocktail you might not normally try, dance like nobody’s looking, and give yourself permission to say yes to the night.
Why Is a Rooftop Setting a Great Choice for Spooky Season?
There’s something undeniably magical about a rooftop setting, especially when you’re celebrating Halloween at one of the best rooftop bars near Times Square.
