N

ew York City in the fall offers a truly magical experience, combining the lingering warmth of late summer with the cool crispness of autumn. The season’s comfortable climate gives visitors the perfect opportunity to stroll through charming neighborhoods like Tribeca, explore the trendy boutiques of SoHo or marvel at the autumn hues in Central Park. New York City boasts a full roster of events each fall, including a new season of Broadway, outdoor festivals, New York Fashion Week, the U.S. Open, New York City Wine & Food Festival, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and more. The season also brings rooftop bars and chic alfresco dining spots into the forefront, where patrons enjoy breathtaking skyline views (and some people-watching, too).
