Sunnyside Gardens continued to draw many children this Halloween– from local kids to those from afar.
“Every year, we buy more and more candy, and yet it still runs out, ” said Judith Akullian who started greeting trick or treaters at her Sunnyside Gardens home at around 4:30. By 7pm, she estimated that she had seen over 350 children.

Many children begin Halloween night by getting candy from merchants on Queens Boulevard, Greenpoint, Skillman and 43rd Ave. before they head north to ring the doorbells of those houses in the Gardens, many of which are decorated elaborately.
Adults accompanying children seeking candy even seem to dress up more this year. A group of four, three dressed imaginatively as tin people, had one child with them. The adult tin man said: “We couldn’t get the small tin person to go along with the program.”
