Polaroid of the Week: Stunning Manhattan Sunset from East River Beach
When we returned to New York last week for the third and final time this year, we were treated to exceptional fall weather: temperatures climbed into the low 70s°F, skies stayed brilliantly blue, and sunshine dominated—all except one day.
Our main worry for a November trip was freezing cold forcing us indoors (with limited warm clothing), but we thrived outdoors. We joined a walking food tour in trendy Williamsburg—and savored this breathtaking sunset from East River Beach. We biked across Manhattan on Citi Bikes, cheered the New York City Marathon amid Central Park's fall colors, and explored Bryant Park's ice rink. Evenings stayed mild; the Halloween Parade night felt balmy. We reconnected with friends, discovered a new favorite at Bastille Artichoke (their artichoke pizza is a must-try!), revisited beloved Doughnut Plant, and indulged in Thai and Indian flavors—preparing for our six months in South America.
Nowhere in the Northern Hemisphere beat New York for those final days, reaffirming it as one of our top global favorites. Next: Chile's spring vibes!
