By Kerry Shaw Verified| Gothamist Verified If you like packed sidewalks, kids in costumes and sugar-infused screams, you’ll love Halloween in New York City. There’s no need to venture inside apartment buildings: Plenty of trick-or-treating action happens on stoops or at storefronts.

By Kerry Shaw Verified| Gothamist Verified “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” will take over Rockefeller Plaza in March to celebrate the NBC show’s 25th anniversary. The plaza will honor the series' main character by becoming “Olivia Benson Plaza” for two days. It will feature show-themed trivia contests, giveaways, photo ops and free coffee from La Colombe. Fans will also be able to purchase friendship bracelets and a limited-edition 25th-anniversary T-shirt. The free event will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
