One week, the humidity is 99%. Then the next, there are pumpkins everywhere from the farmer’s market to the corner bodega, cafes to your apartment lobby. It’s not bipolar, it’s just fall in NYC! It’s finally cool enough to wear sweaters and let your fall-loving flag fly. This week, nosh on cozy complimentary risotto, or go out to a ramen dinner at a Gramercy Park institution. Sweat out your comfort foods while catching up on Netflix (dreams do come true!!). Go out to the countryside for some genteel clay shooting fun, and savor seasonal craft beers and oysters back in the city. Welcome to your la vie en pumpkin!
