Wake up to autumn in the park.
Begin your morning with a refreshing stroll through Central Park, where vibrant fall colors and crisp air set the perfect tone for the day. For a curated seasonal experience, explore the Central Park Conservancy’s Fall Guide—complete with a foliage tracker, seasonal tours, and top activities. When you’re ready to warm up, head just across the street to The Shops at Columbus Circle for a cozy cup of coffee and a bite to eat.
Worked up an appetite?
After your walk, nothing hits the spot like a hot latte or a fresh pastry. Head over to Tartinery, located on the 3rd Floor, where you can grab croissants, yogurt parfaits and more. Or if your looking to enjoy a breakfast with a view, you’ll find favorites to refuel like the croque madame with ham, gruyère, bechamel and a sunny side up egg, or classics like smashed avocado toast.
Shop the city’s best, all in one place.
A visit to New York City isn’t complete without a shopping spree—and The Shops at Columbus Circle is home to some of the best brands.
If your style is sophisticated and refined—discover Italian craftsmanship made for the modern man at the newly opened Boggi Milano on the Ground Floor, or head to Hugo Boss for sharp tailoring and contemporary flair. J.Crew always delivers on timeless essentials like cashmere and linen, while spearheading the latest trends.
For a polished athleisure look—don’t miss Wilson, which carries the cutest tennis sets, bombers and gear.

Seal the day with an unbeatable cocktail.
With sweeping views of Central Park dressed in fall color, Ascent Lounge is the perfect place to take in the city’s golden hour. This season, savor the Smoked Old Fashioned—a refined blend of pistachio-infused Angel’s Envy Bourbon, maple syrup aged in a bourbon barrel, Angostura bitters, and Woodford spiced cherry bitters. Finished with a dehydrated orange wheel and brandied cherries, it’s the perfect toast to an autumn day well spent on the Upper West Side.
