32nd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade in photos
This bodega cat had a real identity crisis in the East Village Saturday.
Mimi, a white Bichon, arrived at the 32nd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade as a “bodega cat,” part of an elaborate costume that featured the cute pup dressed as a feline perched on a store shelf full of potato chips next to an ATM.
Owners Kat Liu and Kevin Condardo completed Mimi’s look with the most stylish accessory in town: a stack of copies of The Post.
Mimi joined the Big Apple’s most creative canines, including one dressed as Jesus Christ and others as a lanternfly and pizza rat, pitter-pattered their way around the Alphabet City park with their proud owners, showcasing their festive threads and accessories.
Boston terrier JoJo reigned pup-reme, dressed as the King of England.
“I don’t really agree with the new king of the UK, so I thought I’d just go ahead and name my own king of the UK so there he is,” his owner Pooja Sunder, 32, said laughing.
Fourteen-year-old ZZ, a Maltipoo, was dressed to the hilt as reality star Kim Kardashian.
The pup was “channeling Kim Kardashian wearing Balenciaga in the tape dress at Paris Fashion Week 2022,” said her owner, Ilene Zeins.
The Lays chip bag which she attached a handle to “was inspired by the pocketbook that Balenciaga just came out with,” the 60-year-old explained.
Prizes were given out in categories such as “Best NYC Costume, “Best Costume on Wheels” and “Best Celebrity Themed Costume.”
Former NFL referee Dan Schachner, who referees the Puppy Bowl, hosted the festivities.
