Providing the perfect playground for the US’s favourite festival; Halloween, New York comes alive with the un-dead in October. From ogling shop fronts full of pumpkins and petrifying paraphernalia, to joining the city’s biggest party of the year; the annual Halloween Parade, a trip to the Big Apple at this time promises spine-tingling excitement and hilarious Halloween fun! This year is the 40th anniversary of the Halloween Parade and for those wanting to take part, nyma, the new york manhattan hotel is offering a special ‘Parade Promotion’ on stays in October.

Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, nyma, the new york manhattan hotel is perfectly located for the parade, which takes place on nearby Sixth Avenue. Only those who dress up are allowed to participate, therefore nyma’s special promotion includes a $40 gift voucher to spend on fancy dress at the city’s biggest costume shop, New York Costumes with every stay. Offering a vast selection of costumes, wigs, masks and props, this East Village shop even has a celebrity following, with Chloe Sevigny, Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson and many more famous faces having graced its rails.

Once suitably attired, join hundreds of puppets, numerous bands, dancers and artists and thousands of revellers in costumes of their own creation for a night to remember, or head to Times Square or Madison Square Garden for more Halloween horror. Alternatively, those wanting to visit earlier or avoid the masses can enjoy the promotion during the weeks preceding the event, as there is no escaping the excitement and anticipation of Halloween in the city that never sleeps!

Centrally situated on West 32nd street, nyma, the new york manhattan hotel provides guests with a host of FREE amenities, including free continental breakfast, free wi-fi and national phone calls, a free fitness suite open 24 hours a day and free stays for children aged 12 and under.

The Parade Promotion is available throughout October, from US$274.99 per room per night (which equates to £88 per person). The rate is based on two sharing and includes one night’s stay and $40 per couple to spend at New York Costumes.
