Make the Most of the Back-to-School Season in NYC!

9/13/2018

Comments

 
Summer has sadly come to an end here in NYC. However, the cooler, grayer weather couldn't be more welcome as we grind our gears back to normal. Say goodbye to sunhats and hello to backpacks, as we head into the back-to-school season in NYC. And while Summer in the City has a nice ring to it, if you're a fan of The Lovin' Spoonful (like us), let's face it - waiting in the hot subway station and the incessant ice-cream truck jingles have gotten old. Fall couldn't have come sooner.

​Back-to-school season in NYC has its own very special charm! The magic of early fall, and the promise of warm drinks, sweater weather, brisk walks in the park are close at hand. While we're in back-to-school mode, and fall is not yet at hand, there's still plenty to do here in NYC! Get out with the kids and take in some of the many goings-on this back-to-school season!

4. The Medieval Festival  October 1st at Fort Tryon Park 
Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park is transformed into a medieval market town decorated with bright banners and processional flags. Performers, guests and festival goers dress in medieval costume. Visitors are greeted by authentic medieval music, dance, magic, and minstrels, as well as jugglers and jesters. The afternoon is concluded with a thrilling joust between four knights on horseback. Costumed vendors will be on hand to demonstrate and sell a wide variety of medieval crafts as well as food and drink. The festival is free -- there are no charges for admission or entertainment. ​​
