*Here’s a comprehensive list of the ultimate things you need to add to your ‘to do’ bucket list for fall season in New York City.

Who doesn’t want to be in New York City during fall season? A city notorious for its extreme weather changes from season to season, fall is that comfortable sweet spot that avid travelers and wanders dream of. You just need to picture the auburn leaves crackling under your feet while walking through the vibrant streets sipping on your steaming coffee to understand why. The possibilities are endless during this season. Whether you want to hunt down the best New York Pizza or simply take a stroll around the marvelous Central Park to experience the multitude of falling foliage – the weather’s got your back!

Here are some ideas to take you just that little bit further on your travels.

New York Comedy Festival

New Yorkers sure know how to find the funny side to everything. That’s the exact reason why most of the top comedians in the world owe their rise to fame to New York City. It is in the comedy clubs of this metropolitan city that these comedians got their start. So, why would you pass up the chance to go to a comedy festival in the heart of comedy?  The New York City Comedy Festival runs November 4-10th and is completely unmissable with a lineup including Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, and Trevor Noah. With many other big names in comedy also attending, you’ll regret not snapping up some tickets!

Governor’s island

A tiny island tucked into the New York harbor in the Manhattan borough, Governor’s Island was once a long-kept secret of New Yorkers. Now that the secret is out, the $3 ferry to the island has been just that little bit fuller. So, take a breather from the exciting hustle and bustle of New York City and discover some of the best foliage that the city has to offer. Where else would you be during fall but in the leafiest place possible, surrounded by florid nature and serenity? The ferries stop running at the end of November until reopening in May making this island an entirely seasonal treat.

Visit the newly refurbished MoMA

The ‘Museum of Modern Art,’ located in Midtown Manhattan has always been a must-see for both tourists and native New Yorkers. This fall, the “unmissableness” of the MoMA is more applicable than ever. After having been closed for the Summer, the museum has been reopened this fall. Art and performance galore with their newly expanded galleries and performance rooms. The refurbished and reimagined museum is truly a marvelous sight to behold. 

The Great Jack’O Lantern Blaze

Enchanting and awe-inspiring are just some of the ways the biggest New York fall event is described. This is your chance to meander through an astounding display of 7,000 hand-made, illuminated Jack’O Lanterns. These lanterns form a shimmering backdrop for you as you meander through the 18th-century landscape. With a pumpkin planetarium, Jack Lantern Statue of Liberty, synchronized light shows and a soundtrack to go along with the whole thing – this is certainly a one-of-a-kind event. Check out the details here!

There you have it! The perfect weather and breathtaking beauty that fall brings with it naturally enhances the New York experience. So, don’t let it slip by, get out there and make the most of it!

Aw man, I was always thinking, when should we plan to go over and really wasn’t keen on the idea of a humid city summer stay, nor the blizzards of winter, so I thought spring, of course! But this time of year sounds so good!! Now I wish I was over!! Actually, at the start of the year we were planning to go over in September but our savings ended up going to something else. I’ll try again!!!
