The Great Pumpkin Comes to Town

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is airing on ABC tonight...set your DVRs, or sit yourself down at 8 p.m. sharp. The special is also available on YouTube, of course, but it's just not the same as seeing it in Prime Time. Stay tuned to see if this year Charlie Brown really does kick that football...

Speaking of great pumpkins, if you still need to get one, here are some patches in and near NYC that may be able to deliver:

Historic Richmond Town on Staten Island
The Queens County Farm Museum in Queens (they even have an Amazing Maize Maze!)
Find more pumpkins here and here.

Some other suggestions on enjoying the Fall season here...we're currently near peak foliage (map), so don't miss out!
