Apparently the city skipped right over second summer and right into fall. The sweet spot of weather and fun events.
In full spirit of ‘spooky season’, the Bronx Zoo lights the evenings in October with animal themed jack o’ lanterns. Walk the half mile trail and observe intricate pumpkin carvings, play games, and recharge with treats from local food trucks.
Feast and be entertained by the finest in culinary creators at the NYC Wine and Food Festival. The NYCWFF will be held at Brooklyn Army Terminal October 17 – 20th. More than food, the week includes dance parties, karaoke, games and entertainers. While food and fun is the focus, you’re also supporting New Yorkers in need through God’s Love We Deliver. A non-profit delivering meals to those who are living with serious illness.

Jammers, blockers, hip whip, grand slam. Brush up on your roller derby lingo in time for the Battle of the boroughs (minus one) at the Roller Derby Championships. October 19th two matches take place between Bronx vs. Queens and Brooklyn vs. Manhattan.
Get ready for the obscure. See the largest “flying rat” aka Pigeon at the High Line this month. Perched at 10th Avenue and 30th Street, the 16 foot bird was created by Iván Argote as a conversation about migration and what we memorialize.
