Spooky, Spicy, Sweet
It’s time to spice things up, spook yourself out, or merely sit back and savor the flavor. In this edition of Guest, we guide you to the Halloween happenings, holiday spectacles and fall festivals right in the Headless Horseman’s backyard of Westchester County. Plus…we list the exhibits, musicals, shows and kid-friendly events that are sure to inspire. Or, if you’re up for a food and wine adventure…check out our Westchester Guide to Pies and—nostalgic for Napa?—the Wineries and Vineyards just a short drive away. If it were me, I’d pick up a bottle on the sweeter side and serve it alongside my Thanksgiving pie. There is just so much to celebrate in Westchester this fall, especially the outdoors: See our guide to orchards and farms to find that perfect pumpkin with the young ones or your sweetheart. Don’t forget to pick a weekend for a colorful hike or bike ride (guides ahead). We close out this edition with “Fall in Style,” the shops and spas to visit to keep you looking and feeling your best. So whether you’re looking for a cocktail or a craft beer, a leaf peep or a gift you’ll keep, a weekend retreat or a pie not-so-sweet, I invite you to start your Westchester journey with us, and I wish you a magical fall.
