As the crisp autumn season settles over the Big Apple, gorgeous shades of orange, red, and yellow illuminate the entire city, creating the calm before the storm. Coming from LA, it’s such a delight to be able to witness an actual changing of seasons, and my favorite, hands down, is the beautiful transition from summer to autumn, when the peak of the fall foliage shines through. With a glass of apple cider in hand, walk through the paths of Central Park to observe the best foliage and to fully absorb the city’s autumnal glory. If you haven’t experienced fall in New York City, jot it down on your bucket list now.
