If all the candy corn, faux blood and silly string in stores now have you craving Halloween, or if you're just one of those people that looks forward to it all year long, celebrate its ghoulish glory early on the Ghostly Greenwich Village walking tour led by Street Smarts NY. While this tour won't scare the bejeezus out of you, it will remind you of the rich history and scandal that occurred in this now ritzy part of town, which honestly, in all its macabre-ness, is quite a comfort. Tours are weekends only, on Saturday at 2pm and 6pm, and again on Sunday at 6pm. $10 per person; reservations are not required, but call ahead for meeting places and/or a full tour schedule (they have quite a few on their roster).
