October may just be my favorite month in NYC
The air gets crisper, the leaves change color, and Little Island gets less crowded (FYI - if you get there before noon, you don't need a reservation). There is always so much happening in NYC, and with more of our population being vaccinated, we can actually go places and meet with people LIVE.

Last month I mentioned Broadway coming back, which is true, but there is also some great live theater coming back in smaller venues.
We have a neighbor that will be appearing in Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession at the Gingold previews starting October 12.
Another friend will be performing live in a limited run production of The Exonerated.

Fall is in full swing this October and we've lined up a handful of local, off the beaten path parks in the city where you can catch the city's fall foliage. Yes, there are plenty of locations upstate for this, but if you know where to look, the trek doesn't have to be that far. Take advantage of the crisp air outside before the leaves fall and winter begins. Check out our list below.
• Fort Tryon Park
• Prospect Park
• Central Park
• Alley Pond Park
• Greenbelt Nature Center
• Bloomingdale Park
• Van Cortlandt Park
