The Best of Fall



Part of fall's magic might be its brevity; if you blink, you'll miss it and some of its best activities.

  • Quinces, the fruit that some claim was what actually tempted Eve, are here! Be tempted, and perhaps sinful, with this recipe for quince liqueur.

  • Having just discovered that the New Yorker is not the pretentious, name-drop fest I always assumed (preconceived notions be damned!), there are now few activities I find more relaxing than a soak in a fragrant tub with a long, investigative piece about counterfeit bottles of wine.

  • Don a vintage plaid scarf and head out on a crisp, sunny day to pick your own pumpkins and apples.

  • Fall is ideal museum weather. Browse fashion icons, Dutch masters, or whatever local attractions might be in your town's museum while wearing corduroy. Sometimes we overlook what's right under our nose thinking it's just for out-of-towners.

  • Dahlias, those fall stunners, are in season through the first frost. Pick some up at a market and carry them home in your bicycle basket for instant happiness.

  • Cool October nights are the best for slipping under the sheets early, turning out the lights and listening to a terrifying, Gothic classic on tape. May I suggest Rebecca? Or, if 15 hours of listening to a British narrator in the dark isn't your thing, check out Hitchcock's version.

    lovely suggestions sarah! as ever, you usher in a season with so much enthusiasm! daliahs are my favorite early-fall farmer's market find. i have some pink and orange ones exploding on my kitchen table right now. my favorite fall must-have? TIGHTS!! i'm not even a girly-girl, but i subscribe to what my friend calls them--sweaters for your legs :) E.G. Smith ones are my fave.

    Ah, yes! Tights! I'm looking forward to them, too. :) And thanks for the brand suggestion -- sometimes my standby Hue tights seem a little boring.
