UES Fall Bucket List

As much as I love summer in NYC, autumn is pretty special in the city. Here’s what I hope to check off in the neighborhood this fall.

Watch Football at East End Bar & Grill: I’m partial to this bar because I’m a Saints fan, but no matter who you’re cheering for, it’s a spot with very nice owners, plenty of space, and good food.

Watch the Float Line-Up for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: We like to sneak out early on Thanksgiving morning and cross the park to watch the floats line up. It’s a bit of an uphill hike but you’re rewarded with great views of the upcoming floats (this year we’re bringing croissants and bubbly).

Have a drink at Jeremy’s: Can’t wait for this soon-to-open cocktail bar from Schaller & Weber.

Check Out Analog City Exhibit at City Museum: This is all about pre-computer NYC (and goes through Dec 31).

Walk Around the UES on Halloween: We love to walk around the neighborhood on Halloween night and see all of the creative brownstone decorations and cute costumes. New York Simply has a great list.

Eat Apple Cider Donuts From One of the UES Greenmarkets: And maybe a hot cider. And seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Leaf Peeping in Central Park: I’m not invested enough to drive to a leaf peeping destination, but we do have a fairly nice version in our own backyard—perfect for sitting under the colorful trees with a fall-themed picnic.

Host a GTG for the NYC Marathon: We live close to the route and plan to host our first-ever get-together for the marathon with bagels and mimosas.
