Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy everything New York has to offer. From the food to the holidays, the change from summer into fall brings a whole new atmosphere to the city. Here are all the ways you can enjoy the season with someone you love.
Candlelit Concert
There is nothing more romantic than a night out surrounded by warm light and classical music. New York hosts many candlelit concerts paying tribute to artists from Bad Bunny to Adele. The renditions use classical music to set the mood and enjoy a night out with your partner.
Whether you love rap, ultra-pop or traditional music, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. There are a number of locations around the city where the two of you can have dinner at an Italian restaurant before seeing and listening to a show. Tickets start at around $26 with a range of dates for each show.
Jack O’Lantern Blaze
New York is hosting a light festival in the Hudson Valley from Sept. 12 to Nov. 16. The Jack O’Lantern Blaze includes over 7,000 hand-carved pumpkins illuminating in the night.
Ticket pricing starts at $24 that can be upgraded to include experiences such as a tavern dinner with gratuities and a keepsake given to you at the end of the dinner. A timed entry into an event involving a pumpkin trail and cocktails is also a perk.
Blood Manor
There cannot be a fall date list without tying in a haunted attraction.
Blood Manor is set in Downtown Manhattan and has been labeled as New York’s scariest experience. It begins on Oct. 3 and runs through Halloween. There are over 10,000 square feet of corridors and rooms full of “blood” gore and actors who are paid to make you scream.
“The haunted experience is designed to be the most intense, creepy, and nerve-plucking event in the tri-state area—and it delivers,” the website writes.
Ticket prices are starting at $46 for a night full of horror and fun with your partner!
Fall Festivals
New York is hosting a number of fall festivals throughout September and October. These festivals have different themes that range from family-friendly pumpkin painting to cultural events like India’s Diwali and Italian festivals all throughout New York’s boroughs.
Whatever you feel like doing with your date this fall, there are a number of festivals selling food, drinks and fun for an easy and relaxed day out where the two of you can experience everything the season has to offer.
Horror Bookstores
The Twisted Spine, New York City’s first horror-themed bookshop, opened in Williamsburg on Sept. 6.
The bookstore has over 5,000 horror books to offer and has plans to host a number of events for readers and horror enthusiasts alike. It also has an espresso bar that transforms into a cocktail and wine bar in the evenings.
Enjoy a cozy date surrounded by good drinks and books with your partner this fall in a space coupled with armchairs, a fireplace and good literature.
Whether you’re a horror junkie or someone who prefers the relaxed vibe fall brings, there’s something for you and your date to enjoy this season. This list compiles everything great the city has to offer during one of the best times of the year.
