As the calendar turns to November, that upstate trip you had planned for this fall probably isn’t happening. But let’s face it, spending two hours on the Thruway to get to an already-picked-over apple orchard is overrated anyway. Instead, save the trip (and the gas money) and take a stroll over to Fulton Stall Market (91 South St.) to celebrate and partake in the bounty of the season.
The Seaport fave is well stocked with fall essentials, featuring nearly a dozen apple varieties (including macoun, winesap and many more) from New York State farms and a colorful selection of gourds that will quickly make your stoop (or office desk) seasonally appropriate. Grab a cup of hot cider from the counter and take your time browsing the many locally sourced wares.
Need a beautiful pie for an upcoming dinner party? Fulton Stall Market has those as well, shipped in straight from an Upstate orchard. The local spot even has freshly harvested bunches of lavender from Governors Island’s lavender field.
If you need even more fall harvest inspiration, there are just a few Saturdays left for the Seaport Farmers Market at South Street and Burling Slip. The market runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays until November 21.
