Don’t You Love New York in the Fall?

of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.’

This weekend, we made french onion soup, picked out a new fall candle, and watched You’ve Got Mail to officially welcome autumn. And in New York, it’s so beautiful that I couldn’t bring myself to choose between the two photos above. Of course you already know plenty of my NYC favorites, but here are the things on my list this season:

My Fall NYC Bucket List

• Visit the New York Botanical Garden for Giant Pumpkin weekend, October 26-27.

• Bake pumpkin bread with chocolate chips.

• See the Pierre Cardin exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.

• When the leaves have really turned, buy fresh-baked cookies from Levain Bakery and walk through Central Park.

• Finally stop by Felix Roasting Co. for one of their exquisite coffees.

• Take in the new Warhol installation and live music at the Gramercy Hotel Rose Bar.

• Spend an evening at Special Club (reservation already booked!)

• One Saturday morning before the neighborhood wakes up, wander through the West Village to see all the changing leaves and fall decorations.

• Have dinner (read: pasta) in the garden at Palma before it’s covered for winter.

• Hope that a spot opens up for Dominique Ansel’s Pie Night – I’m on the waitlist!

• Rent a rowboat in Central Park.

• Visit some usually-private buildings that are open to the public during Open House New York, October 18-20.
