1. Hillary Clinton
With this grinning mask, you'll be the spitting image of your favorite New York Senator. Add a matronly power suit and some "Hill for President" campaign paraphernalia and you'll be good to go.
2. Rudy Giuliani
Show some love for the ex-mayor with this Rudy Giuliani mask. Team up with a friend and take a Rudy & Hillary act on the road.
3. Donald Trump

Be The Donald for a day. This handsome and life-like wig will transform you into your favorite real estate mogul and reality TV superstar. To complete the look, just add an expensive suit, a hot Eastern European model, and an air of entitlement.
4. Statue of Liberty
Miss Liberty is a classic costume choice for adults and kids alike. Add this groovy light-up torch for extra pizzazz.
5. New York Firefighter
Everybody loves the FDNY. Take advantage of that good will to score extra candy (for the kids) and free drinks (for the grown-ups). If you're feeling frisky, try the Sexy Fire Lady costume for a really hot night.
6. Subway Rat
Frighten and disgust the neighbors with this tricked-out rat costume. You'll look like you just crawled off the F train tracks. Sure, the costume's a little pricey, but it can be re-used on the picket line.
7. Howard Stern
Become the King of All Media for the night. All you need to dress up as Howard Stern is this stylish wig (don't forget to take the scissors to it if you want to represent Howard's current look), a pair of sunglasses, and a sense of humor. To really sell it, though, it helps to be 6'5" tall.
8. Rockette
Live out your showgirl fantasies by spending Halloween as a Radio City Music Hall Rockette. Kick up your heels and show off those gams.
9. New York Yankee or New York Met
Pick up New York Yankee and New York Met uniform gear at Cosby Sports and spend the evening as your favorite baseball hero. This is the type of Halloween costume that easily goes from a night at the stadium to Halloween night with just a few accessories (like a starlet girlfriend on your arm).
10. The Chrysler Building
I dare you to try to compete with this elaborate -- and extremely uncomfortable-looking -- Chrysler Building Halloween costume. Only the truly committed would dare to challenge this guy in the Most Original category.
