It's officially the first day of fall! The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and I am fully embracing fall mode. Here is what I’m looking forward to most this season:
🍁 Fall foliage
Neighbourhoods all over the city transform into tunnels of red, orange and yellow. Even a standard stroll around the block feels like walking right through a movie set.
🎃 Pumpkin patches & corn mazes
Dressing cozy, pulling on boots ready to get muddy, and spending a festive fall day with family exploring corn mazes before warming up with hot apple c***r and fresh pie... I'm in.
☕ Pumpkin spice & chai lattes
Call it overhyped, but I love a pumpkin spice or chai latte! Nothing quite hits like your hands around a warm cup on a brisk day with a sweet autumn treat... well, until eggnog season takes over!
🍽️ Seasonal harvest menus
Fall menu items like butternut squash soup, roasted chanterelles, and cedar-planked wild salmon transform dining into an extra special, harvest-focused experience. (Restaurants such as The Flying Pig, Trattoria, ARC Restaurant and Seasons in the Park often have fall features)
🚲 A quieter city
As the summer crowds clear out, places like Granville Island, the Seawall, and local spots feel more accessible. Easier to navigate, effortless to enjoy, and so much more relaxed.
📖 Moody weather
While I love the sunshine more than anything, there's something about a rainy day that puts me in the absolute best headspace to devour a great book or lock in, focus, and get work done.
🎬 Movie nights in
While I'm not a fan of scary movies, autumn creates the ultimate atmosphere for cozy movie nights and quiet evenings spent at home with a warm blanket.
