Halloween has a long history dating back over 2,000 years ago, and as we all know, Halloween is not just for kids! When adults plan how thrilling to celebrate and which Halloween party to partake in, party goers need to get their priorities in order. The planning stage can even overshadow the holiday itself if you don’t plan far enough ahead. Let’s examine the key considerations needed to ensure Halloween is a fun and safe one.
Halloween Party Transportation
Transportation to and from the Halloween party needs to be highly considered. Getting to the party is usually in the initial plans, but getting back home is often forgotten. This is true, especially when the partying goes into the wee hours and drinking is involved. Most figure there are natural options like a subway or ridesharing service. But it is unwise and unsafe (and could be dangerous) to leave planning a ride home for the last minute.
The leading cause of the more than 75,000 subway delays per month is overcrowding, according to The New York Times. And you can bet other options outside of professional car service on Halloween night will be a grueling nightmare! The busyness of Halloween in New York City no doubt has an impact on ridesharing services, too (as it does with most other holidays). More demand for ridesharing services leads to surge pricing, which always costs a pretty penny.
Unfortunately, Halloween is also a time when crime spikes and those who have been partying all night are often easy targets. Simply put, you may never know what obstacles might stop you from a comfortable ride home from the Halloween party. Ordering a ride is never a problem with Delux Transportation. You can conveniently book a trip with our mobile app, reserve online, or call 516-883-1900.
The Halloween Costume
Top on the list is always the costume. Many are rightfully anxious about creating the perfect costume that will impress peers and one that is also highly shareable on social media. Classics like Spiderman, a witch, priest or nurse are Halloween costume traditions. Hot for 2019 includes Pennywise the Dancing Clown from IT, a character from the video game Fortnite, and for couples, Archie and Veronica from Riverdale.
And remember, having a car service on hand makes getting around extremely convenient when you are dressed in bulky costumes.
The Halloween Party Venue
Whether it is a haunted house or upbeat nightclub scene, NYC has plenty of options, and here are 2 that have proven to be tried and true favorites.
- Visit any list of New York’s famed haunted house attractions and you’ll find Blood Manor. The sprawling 5000sqft features mazes and decorated hallways to warp your sense of direction and induce dread. The “performers” are also top-rated experts at testing the limits of your fears.
- Gravesend Inn Haunted Hotel, located in Brooklyn, is built by a production team at New York City College of Technology. The team takes a high-tech approach to a haunted hotel, where participants unknowingly trigger terrifying surprises with hidden sensors.
A Mobile Halloween Party
An idea that has been popular in other cities is the mobile Halloween Party. This could actually work quite well when booking a reliable car service through the busy streets of New York City. When your group is large, consider a sleek Coach Bus. These buses have a good sound system so you can bring along a Halloween playlist to create the most “chilling” atmosphere. You can also order select beverages and tasty treats for your night around town.
And if you have a small group or perhaps it’s just you and your date, there are choices when choosing Delux Transportation. Maybe a chauffeur-driven limo or SUV is all that you need. Delux Transportation has a fleet consisting of several vehicle choices, no matter the size of your party.
