We all love Fall in NYC. The streets are filled with people enjoying the fall weather outdoors before the brutal winter approaches along with the depressing urge to hibernate all winter long.

Here are 7 ways to make the most out of Fall in NYC:

1. Pumpkin Pancakes

Grab a group of friends and go venture out to one of the many weekend brunch hot spots throughout New York City with pumpkin pancakes as the newest addition to their menus. Try Café Orlin, located in the East Village, with famous pumpkin pancakes topped with cinnamon yogurt or Friend of a Farmer, located by Irving Place, with old fashioned pancakes to die for.

2. Central Park

Dress in your cutest fall outfits and head over to Central Park for MAJOR photo ops or just grab a big group of friends and picnic under the fall leaves.

3. Apple Picking

Road trip with some friends or family to one of many apple picking farms located just a few hours outside of NYC. Love Apple Farm, located about two hours outside NYC, offers acres of apple picking along with a fresh food market, café, homemade bakery, and a petting zoo for the kids.

4. Pumpkin Patches and pumpkin carving

Admit it…when you were younger the pumpkin patch was what truly signaled the first signs of Fall. You’re never too old to pick out pumpkins and carve them with family and friends. Get creative when it comes to the faces that you carve and be sure to roast the pumpkin seeds for a delicious snack to have in the meantime.

5. Halloween Dog Parade

Everyone's favorite Halloween event is almost here…the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. Come watch the adorable dogs of New York City stroll through the streets showing off their finest, creative costumes.

6. Harvest Festival

Sunday, October 15, 2017— On Randall’s Island Park Alliance’s annual Harvest Festival with many big family-friendly attractions such as live music, face painting, and several other activities!

7. Pumpkin Ice Cream

Before it gets too cold out, take advantage of the nice fall weather and grab pumpkin ice cream at either Sundaes and Cones or vegan pumpkin ice cream at Van Leeuwen and sit in the park with friends.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
