Set your pace

Everything below recalculates as you move the sliders. The default is an easy 10:00/mile with 4 minutes at each stop for photos and reading plaques.

Stop times are spent before moving on to the next stop. Opening hours were pulled from Google Places in October 2026; confirm before you go, especially for the museum and monument.

DOCUMENTED marks the historical record. LEGEND marks ghost stories and folklore, which we are happy to repeat but cannot vouch for.

This season

Two Halloween events that line up with the route.

Merchant's House candlelight ghost tours

Listed for Fri, Oct 16, 2026 · $45 ($35 members)

The museum runs after-hours tours of the house by candlelight. The ticket page gave a date and price but not a start time, so check the museum's site before planning your evening around it.

Village Halloween Parade

Sat, Oct 31, 2026 · 7 PM, up Sixth Avenue

Lines up at Canal St and Sixth Ave and marches north along Sixth to 15th St. Our route stays west and east of Sixth, but expect crowds and closures nearby, so run it earlier in the day.
