We all love Fall in NYC. The streets are filled with people enjoying the fall weather outdoors before the brutal winter approaches along with the depressing urge to hibernate all winter long.

Here are 7 ways to make the most out of Fall in NYC:

1. Pumpkin Pancakes

Grab a group of friends and go venture out to one of the many weekend brunch hot spots throughout New York City with pumpkin pancakes as the newest addition to their menus. Try Café Orlin, located in the East Village, with famous pumpkin pancakes topped with cinnamon yogurt or Friend of a Farmer, located by Irving Place, with old fashioned pancakes to die for.

2. Central Park

Dress in your cutest fall outfits and head over to Central Park for MAJOR photo ops or just grab a big group of friends and picnic under the fall leaves.

3. Apple Picking

Road trip with some friends or family to one of many apple picking farms located just a few hours outside of NYC. Love Apple Farm, located about two hours outside NYC, offers acres of apple picking along with a fresh food market, café, homemade bakery, and a petting zoo for the kids.

4. Pumpkin Patches and pumpkin carving

Admit it…when you were younger the pumpkin patch was what truly signaled the first signs of Fall. You’re never too old to pick out pumpkins and carve them with family and friends. Get creative when it comes to the faces that you carve and be sure to roast the pumpkin seeds for a delicious snack to have in the meantime.

5. Halloween Dog Parade

Everyone's favorite Halloween event is almost here…the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. Come watch the adorable dogs of New York City stroll through the streets showing off their finest, creative costumes.

6. Harvest Festival

7. Pumpkin Ice Cream

Before it gets too cold out, take advantage of the nice fall weather and grab pumpkin ice cream at either Sundaes and Cones or vegan pumpkin ice cream at Van Leeuwen and sit in the park with friends.
