Weekend Market Picks October 14 & 15, 2017: Autumn Is Here

Kitty Pumpkin

It’s an exciting week for markets! We have fun flea markets and lots of food events: pickles, sweet treats, brunch, and a beer fest. We also have a pet adoption Saturday with That Cat Blog and the ASPCANY at the Hell’s Kitchen Street Market. Go and meet your new best friend! It’s not too early to get your new best pumpkin too, but make sure it’s a sugar pumpkin because you can make into the best pie ever for Thanksgiving.

Enjoy the cool weather!
