New York continues to be the city that never sleeps. No matter what season we’re in, there always seems to be something going on. Summer brought the heat and along with in many activities. There were movies in the park, restaurant week, and several beach events. You would think that because it’s officially Fall and the temperature has dropped, New Yorkers would want to stay indoors, but NO! Fall activities are officially in swing, so here’s my list of things to do during the fall season.
