There's a Zombie parade every year in Somerville, Mass. (In the Spring, so unconnected with Halloween for whatever reason.) The zombies shamble from Davis Square to some bars in Central Square, I think. What makes it for me is the counter-demonstrators, Fred Phelps-style, holding signs like "God Hates Zombies" and "Brains Are For Thinking, Not For Eating!"
I was in this year's Somerville Zombie March (and damn near made my friend pee her pants when I yelled, in response to one "counter-protestor" w/a sign saying "No Vote, No Pulse," "I EAT THE BRAINS OF THE LIVING, AND I VOTE!!!" Then again, that might explain some of the electoral results in recent years, eh?...). We also did one in July that ran from South Station, through the Back Bay, across the river and up to Harvard Sq., so you see, Brooklyn isn't the only place where fun happens!
Brain Food yum!

I was at a yoga weekend yesterday and while taking a noontime walk noticed that yoga is EVERYWHERE. I remarked on this to my instructor and she agreed. But I don't think either of us dreamed of "Zombie Yoga." 
Born and raised in Williamsburg/Bed-Stuy and graduated from Brooklyn Tech. I agree, Brooklyn is cool.
One of the best audiobooks I've listened to is Max Brooks' World War Z, an oral history of the Zombie Wars. Incredible book, funny and well thought out (since they don't breathe they can simply walk under water, so the oceans can't keep us safe). Just great fun.
Love the Zen purity of the Brooklyn zombies. The SF ones have recently been political, converging on a mayoral debate (scroll down for video!).
There's a zombie event at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign too. For Halloween every year, a group of students (this year about 200) dress up as zombies, much like in the video, and terrorize campus. And every couple blocks, stop to dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller. We've got a simplified version of the dance planned out, but it's still pretty impressive.
You have read World War Z, right?
No???
That was one of the few SF novels I have read in the last 5 years that was fully 500% better than I had any reason to expect it to be. Armchair Generalist put me onto it.
Believe it or not, Brooks has really done some military historical homework here. Beyond mere narrative of who did what to whom. How things can completely fall apart. Especially when your "book" solutions are out of the wrong book for the occasion. How people manage to impose some sort of order on an inherently chaotic behavior. Why people manage to stand and fight when they're scared shitless, and why they crack, and why they don't.
Lots of background, common sense, fine characterization, and clear narrative wrapped around a completely impossible premise. Which is an excellent recipe for good fantasy fiction, come to think of it.
Steve would have loved this one.
Current production of "Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy" is on at my hometown new-plays theater co. - this script was done off-Broadway a couple of years ago, two actresses put together a spoof of FA with a Greek Chorus and much madness using the actual movie dialogue ... but after the Bunny Boiling, "Michael Douglas" is in bed with "Anne Archer" and the only stage direction is, "a dream ballet."
In my hometown production, it became "Thriller," with a horde of Zombie Rabbits.
Pants were peed all over the house.
Zombies: a rich American tradition.
