Okay… so this is not the best Halloween costume store. It’s a seasonal chain store. A small pop up store with not a big variety of Halloween costumes. But it could work if you live in the area or you’re just walking nearby and need to buy your halloween costume 😉

  • TRIBECA: 375 Broadway & White St.

Hi there :) I'm Jess and I came to NYC to pursue my dream and I feel I'm living it every day. New York is magical and you have to be open to everything because you never know who is sitting next to you on the subway or behind you in the line of the supermarket. I decided to create this blog about NYC because I realized how many powerful tips would have helped me if I knew them before coming to the city from someone who was living in NY! So I thought that it would be awesome to share with you some tips about New York from a New Yorker. I'm going to keep updating this blog so stay tuned :)
