The Perfect Fall Day in New York City
Fall in New York City is one of my favorite parts of the year! There is something so special about watching the leaves change color in Central Park and seeing all the spooky decorations around the city. Will and I are taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather and vibes that come along with autumn, so I have put together the perfect fall day in NYC itinerary for you to get into the spooky mood and celebrate the season! If you want to see even more of these fall activities, check out my vlog, where I filmed every moment of our fall adventures!
Explore the Fall Decor and Brownstones
There is something so special and unique about seeing Halloween decorations in New York City. My favorite places to see fall decorations are on the stoops of the brownstones in Greenwich, the Upper West Side, and the Upper East Side. So many people go all out with their decorations, and it is always so sweet to see all the different ways in which people choose to decorate their homes for the fall and Halloween.
Attend Butterfield Market and Have a Picnic in Central Park
The fall is so peaceful and calming, so I love getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city by going into Central Park. This year, Will and I went to Butterfield Market (which has a cute painting outside for a photo op!), and we grabbed some yummy snacks and sweet treats to picnic in the park. While we weren't super hungry, the market has warm lunch and sushi options if you want a nice lunch in the park!
Rowboat in Central Park
Engulf yourself in the city's fall foliage by rowing in Central Park! About halfway through October, all the leaves begin to turn color, and it is the perfect time to see the seasons change! I recommend getting to the boats right when they open to ensure you get a rowboat and beat some of the heavy crowds. Taking a boat ride through Central Park is a cheaper activity ideal for fall weather!
Reminiscing on our fall day has made me SO excited for even more fall days in the city. I can't wait to see what other fun things Will and I get up to, and I hope you have an amazing time in the city when you go on some of these adventures!
