12 Amazing NYC LGBTQ Halloween Parties For Every Type Of City Girl

City girls, pay close attention. These parties will be teeming with ladies.

Halloween truly is like a gay Thanksgiving, don’t you think? It’s a fabulous Holiday where we get to dress up in wonderfully slutty costumes without the fear of being judged…and the best part? We don’t have to leave the city and get triggered by our homophobic small towns like we do during actual Thanksgiving.

The best place to be during Halloween is most definitely New York City (duh). And lucky for you GO Magazine has rounded up 12 amazing parties taking place between today (October 26th) and Halloween (October 31st) that you surely won’t want to miss, babes.

Oh, and if we missed one? Email: Zara@gomag.com!


1. Hot Rabbit’s Bad Habit “HELL YES!” Party

Zara’s Tip: Dress to kill and if you’re single dress to kill and to hookup (always lots and lots of hot AF queer girls as this sexy event).


2. NY Social Presents: The “Saints and Sinners” Halloween Day Party 

NY Social’s party is going to be fierce. My favorite part? This party is a ~day party~ and I think it’s a real treat to see my fellow ~LGBTQ’s~ in the daytime.

Zara’s Tip: Dress like the lesbian vampire you’ve always secretly wanted to be. I mean it’s a lesbian party called “Vamp.” Sharpen those fangs, ladies and misbehave.


4. Queer Horror Stories at the Mid Manhattan Library 

“Queer Horror Stories” sounds amazing! It’s important to get a little culture in during Halloween, you know?

Place: Mid-Manhattan Library (476 5th Avenue)

Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm

And you’ll get some well-needed culture so you don’t feel like such a drunken heathen this Halloween season.

Zara’s Tip: Don’t dress too slutty, it’s a library for goddess’s sake! 


5. Cynthia Russo & Lsrienas Present: Sugah and ScaresHalloween LGBT Sunset Yacht Party

Sugah and Scares Halloween Party  is going to be amazing and super different. After all, what’s more ~incredible~ than a bunch of gays in costume cascading down the city seas? Nothing.

Date: Saturday, October 28th

Place: Meets Pier 33/299 South Street, NYC

Time: Boards at 5 pm!

Highlights: Music from DJ Lena and DJ Melly Mel, A BOAT RIDE ON THE MAJESTIC PRINCESS, hosted by Maria Cherry Lips, fresh ocean air and lots of ladies galore.

Zara’s Tip: Dress like the gayest, most glittery Mermaid/Merman/Mer-person to ever exist. Life is short and boat rides full of gays is a rare, rare treat.


6. Henrietta Hudson’s Presents: The Walking Dead (Official after-party for Sugah and Scares boat ride!) + Halloween Night IT 

Oh, Hens, Hens, Hens. What’s better than Hens, Hens, Hens? Um, Hens on Halloween, baby! See you there!

Date: Friday, October 27th/Tuesday,  October 31st

Place: Henrietta Hudson

Time:  9pm-4am

Highlights: Well the first highlight is that it’s at the legendary Henrietta Hudson’s Bar and Girl, honey. And of course, the DJ sets by Culi and “spine-chilling” spirits will be a blast too!

Zara’s Tip: Don’t wear a lipstick unless it’s super matte. Because you know you’re going to make-out with someone at Henrietta Hudson! If you must do the dramatic lip, I recommend using “Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick.” It stays on through the most scandalous of lesbian make-outs. 


7. Ginger’s Bar Presents: An Entire Weekend Of Halloween Festivities!

Ginger’s, the fabulous, lesbionic bar in Brooklyn, has a whole weekend of Halloween Festivities, so you better rest tonight, babe. It’s going to be a scandalous, tiring, fabulous weekend at Ginger’s!

Highlights: Costume contests, trivia, Sunday-Funday and Karaoke galore in one of our favorite bars to ever exist! Seriously this is three days of epic fun.

Zara’s Tip: You can’t wear the same costume to the same venue, three different times. I say Friday night wear your second best costume, Saturday wear your absolute BEST costume and Sunday… just wear like a witches hat and jeans or something? Sundays are the one day that I condone basic-ness.


8. Cubbyhole Presents: Keep Calm…BOO! A Halloween Spooktacular!

I’m always down for a Cubbyhole night! Especially on a Tuesday because every lesbian New Yorker knows Cubby is at its best during the week, am I right?

Zara’s Tip: You don’t have to get too dressed up tonight, but at least don a pair of cute pussy(cat) ears, OK?

12. BumBum Bar Presents: Halloween Costume Boat Party!
