Fall is a favorite time of year for New Yorkers and visitors as the weather cools down, arts and culture heat up, and the changing leaves bring a riot of color to parks across the five boroughs. Big Apple Greeter volunteers told us some of their favorite things to do in a New York City autumn.

Big Apple Greeter Jesse Richards’ forthcoming book, Unknown New York: An Artist Uncovers the City’s Hidden Treasures, illustrates the surprising, little-known corners that give New York City its special flavor and lasting appeal.

Tom Keating, a long-time Greeter and former educator, took 20 Greeters on a virtual visit to every borough as he discussed some of the hundreds of repurposed buildings that have changed ownership many times since being constructed.

In 2009, the Bronx welcomed a new Yankee Stadium. Built to replace the original stadium built in 1923, the new stadium is situated one block north of the original. And, oh - what a beautiful place it is!
