Halloween at the McKittrick Hotel, Chelsea

For us, Halloween has always been all about house parties. Back in the Bay Area, we were always invited to at least one big party. In NYC, it’s a little different since most people don’t have quite as much space for a big gathering. This year, we bought tickets to Inferno, the Halloween event at the McKittrick Hotel, home of Sleep No More. We went to Sleep No More 2 years ago, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. A creepy hotel seems like the perfect setting to drink and dance the night away on Halloween!

John’s skeleton body suit was about $30 on Amazon, and he made sure to buy one that did not have a large logo printed across the butt. Hah! My costume comprised mostly of existing items from my closet. I think we did a pretty good job on John’s makeup, even though it was rushed! And of course, we took lots of skeleton and witch selfies…

Tickets to Inferno were not cheap ($100+), but it included open bar and live performances all night long. We never had to wait long at any of the bars, and I had plenty of prosecco that night. No seats unless you have a VIP ticket, but my tired feet still made it to 2am!
