Reply to comment by F59_469 in TIL about Ragamuffin Day, a celebration in the New York metro area in the late-1800s and early-1900s in which children wore costumes and went door-to-door asking for candy or money on Thanksgiving. It fell out of favor as trick-or-treating on Halloween gained acceptance in the 1940s and '50s. by PikesPique

Yea it's always weird to visit Bay Ridge. It is a little weird world of its own.

My brother lived there for years after I moved and he would text me once in a while "I'm going to the city what train do I take to get to X". Saturday Night Fever was so accurate.
