Trick-or-treating is totally different for kids living in NYC - here's what it's like

Halloween means fun costumes, spooky stories, and a lot of candy for eager kids.

Children who live in suburban or rural neighborhoods know the holiday means heading out to several square blocks worth of houses to collect candy door-to-door.

But in New York City, things are totally different.

Instead of driving to the next residential neighborhood, kids take the subway with their parents, hopping from business to business (think CVS, the local laundromat, and the bank) hoping to score some treats. 

We went out in the Upper East Side in Manhattan to get a feel for how this works. 

Let's see what it takes to be a successful trick or treater in the Big Apple.
