Queens is the best part of fall in New York

Check off your fall bucket list

You could rent a car and go upstate. But why?

Queens County Farm Museum

73-50 Little Neck Parkway, Glen Oaks

Real New Yorkers know that this Glen Oaks instituion is city's the autumn MVP. Pick a pumpkin, stuff your face with apple cider donuts, get lost in a corn maze, ride a tractor, feed a goat, and get all the photos you need for your next Instagram dump.

Bohemian Beer Garden

29-19 24th Avenue, Astoria

Flying to Europe is overrated. Instead, come to this century-plus-old Astoria landmark to knock back a few steins, chow down on pretzels and sausages, hear live music, and enjoy the crisp fall air. They have some special fall events on the calendar, but every day here is special in our book.

Socrates Sculpture Park

32-01 Vernon Boulevard, Long Island City

These are the last few weeks we can really enjoy outdoor art before we're all bundled up. Grab a coffee nearby, then stroll around the vanguard exhibits – and enjoy the natural art of the fall foliage.

Farmers Markets

Multiple Neighborhoods

No matter where you are in Queens, there's a weekly farmers market somewhere nearby. Start your weekend right by picking up some apples, squashes, and other seasonal specialties – and if they have cider, some of that too.

Halloween

Multiple Neighborhoods

If you want that storybook Halloween experience, then set your sites on Sunnyside Gardens, Bayside, Forest Hills, or Howard Beach. These beautiful neighborhoods are some destination-worthy trick-or-treating spots.

THe best Leaf Peeping in town

Queens has the most trees of any borough in the city, 298,188 to be exact. And they're all putting on a show this fall. Here are some of the best spots to catch the colors.

It's a good season for beers

It's sweater weather now... relax with a pint. Good thing Queens is the brewery capital of New York.
