8 Autumn Obsessions
October 18, 2013
Even if you didn’t grow up raking fallen leaves and swigging apple cider, nearly everyone seems ready to get on board with what I like to call the “cult of fall.” It’s that phenomenon that causes us to psychologically (or sometimes literally) curl up into a ball and grab for the nearest woolen object or pumpkin-flavored drink.
The Onion’s Mr. Autumn Man pretty much nails what this season is all about: plaids, cozy sweaters, butternut squash, and pretty much anything orange. And you know what? This is one trend I am willing to embrace with reckless enthusiasm. Below, a few of the reasons why autumn in New York (or anywhere, really) is just so irresistible.
Apple picking, obviously:
A plethora of cozy wool blankets:
ACD’s (apple-cider doughnuts):
Real fires in real fire places:
Sweater weather:
Crunchy, fallen leaves:
And last but not least, one of fall’s greatest gifts: butternut-squash ravioli with sage browned butter.
Have a lovely fall weekend!
