There's nothing like trick-or-treating on Long Island, where kids can head to their favorite downtowns to fill up on treats from local businesses. Or to their own neighborhoods, where they know how to traverse every nook and cranny. Plus, kids probably have a good idea what houses to avoid and what ones to knock on twice for those sweet rewards.
Camaraderie among neighbors gives you a sense of community. But sometimes change is good.
So which Long Island neighborhoods are best for trick-or-treating? We prefer those that have houses close together, merchants who participate, are well lit, and have minimal traffic. Read on for our list of favorites.
