The most photographed Halloween decorations in New York? Madison Avenue would like a word.

Spectacular spirits are now on view on Madison between East 57th and 86th Streets, and adjacent side streets.

There’s Halloween shopping, and then there’s Halloween shopping at Zitomer. A bewitching wonderland of extraordinary finds, Zitomer Pharmacy takes the art of dressing up to spectacular new heights.

Head to the second floor to explore an astonishing selection of hundreds of exquisite masks - from dazzling jewel-studded creations to dramatic feathered headdresses - elaborate hats and headpieces, costumes, capes, feather boas in every color, as well as décor. 

The magic begins on the first floor, with a preview of what’s upstairs, plus Halloween-inspired makeup, statement jewelry, eyewear, gloves and FAZIT beauty patches for spiderweb designs, shimmering freckles and more.

Just as their window says…
A little wicked. A little wonderful. Entirely Zitomer. 

📍Zitomer | 969 Madison Avenue (75-76)

Join us in congratulating on 30 years on Madison Avenue. In 1996, Italian fashion house ETRO opened the doors to its six-story Madison Avenue palazzo, bringing the many facets of the brand together under one roof.

From original architectural renderings of the Madison Avenue flagship to archival runway looks and pieces worn by celebrities, the exhibition offers a fascinating look at 30 years of ETRO’s distinctive style.

On view starting today, October 22, through November 8, 2026, inside the Madison Avenue flagship:
