Apple Picking
Everyone loves to go apple picking in the fall. Don’t pretend you don’t. There are numerous orchards on Long Island out in Suffolk County and upstate in the Westchester area. Drinking apple cider, eating cider donuts, and baking with the apples are favorite fall activities. Pumpkin farms are popular too!
Walk the High Line
This public park runs along the west side of Manhattan. It’s filled with gardens and public art installations that you can view along the way. The High Line is open until 10:00 p.m. There are only a few more weeks left before it gets too cold so take a walk and enjoy your time outside.
Wine Tasting on Long Island
Long Island has lots of wineries. Gather up a group of friends, don’t forget to have a DD, and visit a vineyard. If you’re on a budget, splitting a tasting with a group comes down to a reasonable price. Some wineries have food, so you can have a meal or appetizers with your wine.
