The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze is back on! It's an over-the top electrifying spectacle guaranteed to excite. 7,000 iluminated jack o'lanterns hand-carved by more than 1,000 volunteers on display through the end of November at Van Cortlandt Manor at Croton-on-Hudson. There are jack o'lantern bats, a Pumpkin Carousel and a 25-foot tall jack o'lantern Statue of Liberty. Proceeds benefit Historic Hudson Valley, a non-profit education organization.

Legasea is launching Fall Sunday Suppers on October 6th. Guests can enjoy the signature Legasea Lobster Bake all fall as part of this special Sunday Supper menu, along with new additions just in time for the colder October weather like Legasea's Cauliflower Carbonara—a lightened up version of this fall staple that allows the cauliflower to breakdown and coat the pasta like a traditional carbonara would—along with Butternut Squash Tempura, Pork Milanese and Sticky Toffee Pudding, all also new for fall.

Rachel Harrison Life Hack opens Oct 25th at the Whitney Museum of American Art and run through January 12th. Rachel Harrison’s first full-scale survey will track the development of her career over the past twenty-five years, incorporating room-size installations, sculpture, photography, and drawing. Harrison's complex works—in which readymades collude with invented forms—bring together the breadth of art history, the impurities of politics, and the artifacts of pop and celebrity culture.
And the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show isn't until February but tickets go on sale Oct 3 at Madison Square Garden - FYI.
