That crisp morning breeze can only mean one thing: the best season of the year has finally arrived. Fall in New York is a sacred time, a respite from the air conditioners and radiators that otherwise rule our lives, and some of the best happenings of the year are on this September calendar. Get ready for afrobeat shows, mind-bending futurist exhibitions, entire fleets of food trucks, and the world's greatest drag queens. Whatever you're into, it's all in here, so click through and get yourself a taste. Put your Game of Thrones fanfic on hold and get out of the coffee shop; it's time to make some plans. — Vivienne Gucwa / Flickr
