Early fall is quite possibly the best time to live in New York City, as the oppressive heat eases and the worst of winter is still far away. Whether you're looking to make the most of some outdoor food festivals, take in some anthemic instrumental rock, get dolled up in drag, or keep cozy inside a movie theater, there's so much worth doing this month that the calendar might fall off the wall. Or your calendar app might crash. Whichever. Time to make plans! — grapfapan/flickr
