Although Paris may be the first city to come to mind when thinking about romantic cities, New York cannot be far behind. New York is a city where the possibilities are endless. It doesn’t lack when it comes for romantic things to see and do and when it comes to wining and dining the choices are myriad. Check out some of the best events of New York happening in this autumn month.
The Autumn months are some of the best in New York City. The big apple has so much to offer when the weather starts to dip that you have no excuse for not venturing out. From street fairs to Halloween festivals, beautiful tourist attractions and historic landmarks, the city is a wonderful place to be in the Autumn months. After reading about the following events, anyone on a short trip might be tempted to convert their holiday to an extended stay in New York!
Feast of San Gennaro: Held from 14th to 24th Sept, the feast is dedicated to the Patron Saint of Naples and involves the consumption of delicious authentic Italian food, live music performances, a Cannoli eating contest and all things Italian.
