Your Guide to New York City This Fall

By Alexus Mosley

Ahhhhh! The color of the turning auburn leaves, the warmly sweet flavor of a pumpkin spice latte, the way the crisp, earthy air reminds you of the fourth grade‘s Scholastic Book Fair. (Okay, maybe that’s just me.) While Brat Summer was cool, there is just no denying that Fall is the most elite season. And if Fall in general is creme de la creme, then Autumn in New York is the creme de la creme of cremes from only the finest cows. So much so that Frank Sinatra sang a song about it. And Ella Fitzgerald.. and Billie Holiday and …. well, you catch our drift.

In the city that has a reputation for its opposition to sleep, one can only imagine all that is offered during this most “wonderFALL” time of year (sorry, I couldn’t resist). Here’s a guide to New York City this Fall that goes beyond the typical pumpkin patch festivities. But don’t worry, that’s an option too.
