Fulton Market
After
For Halloween, After, The B-Side and The Canvas by Ever are taking over the entire Fulton Market space and turning it into one immersive 1980s horror experience for the night. Rather than hosting three separate parties, the full building becomes one experience that guests move through over the course of the evening. Each space takes on its own personality, with horror-film references, music, food and cocktails threaded throughout. And because this is coming from the team behind two-Michelin-starred Ever, the food and drinks are a major part of the night rather than an add-on: both are included in the ticket. Think less traditional Halloween party and more a fully produced night inside an ’80s horror movie, spanning After, The B-Side and The Canvas by Ever.
