Cocktails & Culture: New York Movies Halloween Bash

It's time to dress up and dance at our annual Cocktails & Culture Halloween Bash, which this year pays homage to New York movies!  From Shaft and Holly Golightly, to King Kong, Spiderman and the Ghostbusters, this town is the birthplace of countless iconic movie characters.  Pick your favorite and join us on the dance floor on our South Terrace for live sets by DJ Misbehaviour and DJ Shakey. Enjoy ghoulish dance performances by ThrillerNYC, whose boogying zombies are a highlight of the annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. Make sure your costume is red-carpet ready so you can compete in our costume contest for prizes!

Spooky cocktails from the MCNY bar, delicious bites from Empanada Mama, and artisanal gelato by Avrilililly's Creamery will be available for purchase. 

The evening is co-hosted by Rebecca Lynn.

About Thriller NYC (dancers):
Since 2004, the Thriller NYC dancers have celebrated their combined love of gore and Michael Jackson by performing the infamous Thriller dance in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade.  In their words: "We are between 15 and a million years old, and our dance experience ranges from novice to professional. We eat brains, grrrrrrrrrowl and bite, but most importantly, we boogie. This Halloween, leave your mundane human life behind and transform into a rotting, dancing cadaver. After studio rehearsals, outdoor practices, and zombie makeup lessons, you'll be hungering for brains in no time."
