Chelsea, NYC: Halloween Trick-or-Treating, Caricatures and Movies at Pier 57's Market 57

On October 31, Market 57, the food hall inside Chelsea's Pier 57, ran a day of Halloween programming at 25 11th Avenue. The festivities lasted from 11am to 8pm, matching the market's daily hours.

The main draw was trick-or-treating at each kiosk in the market. It ran for the full 11am-to-8pm window, so visitors could collect candy stall by stall while stopping for a meal or a snack.

Caricature artists were on hand from noon to 6pm, offering a hand-drawn keepsake for anyone who came in costume or simply wanted a different kind of souvenir. Halloween movies played throughout the day, from 11am to 8pm, giving a place to sit and rest between rounds of the market.

Market 57 is open Monday through Sunday, 11am to 8pm, though individual kiosk hours may vary. Pier 57 also has a rooftop park, open from 6am to 1am, with views over the Hudson River.

Pier 57 is a redeveloped pier complex on Chelsea's waterfront, and the Halloween program gave families and costumed visitors an easy, low-key way to mark the holiday on the day itself.
