On Halloween, suburban children dress up and wander from house to house to gather candy and treats. But — for many reasons – that approach to trick or treating doesn’t always work so well for city kids.
In Brooklyn Heights, the tradition calls for costumed youngsters to walk through the historic commercial district on Montague Street and collect candy from the neighborhood shops and businesses. This year, I was lucky enough to catch some of the little monsters (and the workers who gleefully welcomed them) in the act.

The ice cream parlor handed out samples
A pussycat stands before a revolving door
A foil-wrapped candy kiss inside a shop

A pirate and Snow White stand with antique furniture
The poor guy in the middle just wants to shop

It’s great being a kid on Halloween — all the fun, costumes, candies, staying up late, attention.
But poor parents — all the fun, costumes, candies, staying up late, attention.
Here in Sesimbra (Portugal) that tradition still holds, it is called «Pão por Deus»: «Bread for God», meaning “give us some bread [or, even better, cakes, or candy] in the name of God”.
But it is very different from Halloween; being the “Day of All Saints”, people pay their respects to the dead ones, visiting cemeteries and attending Masses.
Great pics. I like your description of each to the trick-or-tricker as you present them.
