WHERE TO FIND THE BEST HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Halloween is a big deal in NYC and The Upper East Side will not disappoint you! I’ve spent two years living in New York and I’m always so impressed by all the Halloween displays. This post will tell you where to see all the best Halloween decorations on the Upper East Side.

I’m lucky enough to live on the Upper East Side and I really think it is the best New York neighborhood for Halloween decorations! To make it even better, you’re able to see it all for free, just by walking around the Upper East Side.

From my experience, the same houses go all out every year but full disclosure, I can’t guarantee these will all be here or be the same every year!

The below list will tell you exactly where to find the best Halloween displays on the Upper East Side. I’ve started from the lowest street and worked up. This will help you plan your route.

EAST 64TH STREET – BETWEEN FIFTH AND MADISON

This is my absolute favourite Halloween house on the Upper East Side. Actually, it stretches across two houses and the owners certainly go all out. They do change the display slightly every year but it is always impressive!

The decorations actually move if you press the button on the floor next to them. The attention to detail here is just stunning.

EAST 70TH STREET – BETWEEN PARK AND LEXINGTON

The decoration on this house is so “Spooky Chic”. The shiny black pumpkins and skeletons are about as classy as Halloween can get! It’s definitely worth stopping by and checking this one out!

EAST 71ST STREET – BETWEEN PARK AND LEXINGTON

This house wins the award for the creepiest decoration. I am rather freaked out by it myself! You can see on the side of the gate there is a gold leaver, when pulled, it makes the ghoules move and make scary noises.

EAST 74TH STREET – BETWEEN MADISON AND PARK

This is one of the best Upper East Side blocks for Halloween displays. There are three houses there that put on extravagant decor.

Firstly, this house seems to have combined cute and spooky perfectly.

Secondly, I feel this house would have had a bit of a spooky vibe without adding any Halloween decorations. The decorations match the look of the house perfectly.

Finally, another one that is a bit on the creepy side. As I said, definitely worth visiting this block if you want to see great Halloween decorations.

EAST 76TH STREET BETWEEN – FIFTH AND MADISON

This is another good block to come to.

This first house was initially just decorated with pumpkins and flowers. Closer to Halloween they added the scary ghouls that move and make noises. I think I liked it more without them!

Next, this house with a larger-than-life skeleton. It was about twice the size of me! The decorations continue up the house, photos really don’t do it justice.
