Our dreaded pandemic winter is right around the corner, which means we must soak up and store as much of these precious autumnal vibes as we can, like a squirrel storing away nuts. There's a lot to take in out there: leaves (dying, but beautifully so), pumpkins and pumpkin spice things, snuggly people in sweaters, and the invisible crisp in the air. So get those nice long walks in now, before the dark chill sets in for a few months and it's just you, your depleting nut hoard, and a crumpled up BINGO card reminding you of marginally better times.
Here are some tips to help you get B-I-N-G-O:
- You can probably find that bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils IRL, but may we also recommend finding it by watching the classic film You've Got Mail?
- The Bufflehead ducks can be found in all of the boroughs
- Public art is all over this beautiful town, but the piece we've got in our card is in Brooklyn Bridge Park
- Here's more intel on the annual Cobble Hill Pumpkin Spike
- A Mr. Autumn Man + Pizza Rat hybrid may be difficult to spot, but Zardulu can probably help you out
- NYC has many haunted spots, but our favorite may be the Morris-Jumel Mansion in Upper Manhattan
- You can find legit scary decorations in a few spots, but you'll find the best ones in Prospect Park South
If you find any squares, tag us in your social media with #GothamistBingo! Happy Autumn, and don't worry... pandemic winter will be followed swiftly by vaccine spring.
