Fall foliage in the Catskills (Photo by Katherine Alex Beaven) Is it just us or do the seasons seem to have more and more abrupt endings? This year in New York City, summer bowed out almost faster than you could say June 21st, making us think that we better take advantage of this blissful autumn…
It’s that time of the year again! Time for ghosts and ghouls, witches and zombies, bobbing for apples and seasonal coffee beverages — in seasonal cups! Thanks, Starbucks.

And there’s something special about these sports-freak towns that make them feel special to non-locals, too — even those who aren’t really into sports.…
Prost!; Photo credit: Ethan Prater Heading to Oktoberfest? Why not take advantage of Bavaria in between a few of those gigantic steins of Hofbrau? We know you’re pretty focused on the brew, but Munich is so ideally located that it would be a crime not to check out some of the awesome stuff nearby —…

But what they don’t realize is that fall and winter are actually the best times of year to visit many beaches…
While many Americans are celebrating the return of the NFL this week, others have been more excited by September’s bringing college football back. Hordes of students, alumni, and general football fans are busy spending their weekend tailgating, sporting school colors, and chanting fight songs for their favorite teams. Many locales across the United States are…
