We’ve got a pretty big weekend ahead: the Village Halloween Parade is happening tomorrow night and the 2024 NYC Marathon will take over all five boroughs this Sunday. We are glad to report that the weather is set to cooperate during both events!
According to meteorologists, in fact, parts of New York will be treated to 80-degree weather on Thursday afternoon—record temperatures for this time of the year and the ideal setting for some trick-or-treating action, if you ask us.
At night, it will get just sightly cooler—think 70 degrees by 11pm. So if you were going to wear a heavy costume hoping to shelter your body from colder weather, you might want to re-think your plan and, perhaps, opt for a more “liberating” ensemble?
On marathon Sunday, on the other hand, participants and spectators alike will enjoy clear skies and highs in the low-to-mid 60s—ideally running weather!
Although we are, as usual, preparing for New York’s frigid winter weather, we’ll take this weekend to rejoice at the beautiful forecast that helps us remember we live in a fabulous town filled with amazing things to do every single day.
Picture a scenario where certain cells in your body have stopped dividing, yet refuse to die. These senescent cells, often called “zombie cells,” may seem harmless, but their presence can wreak havoc on your health. Instead of contributing to bodily repair and renewal, they release inflammatory signals that damage surrounding tissues, leading to age-related illnesses…
Imagine slicing into a steak that’s been cooked perfectly, where every bite bursts with flavor and juiciness. Sous vide makes it possible to attain this elusive perfection without the anxiety that often accompanies traditional grilling methods. Imagine placing your cut of meat into a temperature-controlled bath, confident that it will emerge precisely as envisioned, whether…
Not planning on catching 2024 NYC Marathon runners on the route this year but still want to be part of all the fun? Take a seat on your comfiest couch and watch the race in real time by tuning into one of the many broadcasting options available.
You can cheer the runners while watching them on WABC-TV, Channel 7 from 8am to 1pm or on the ABC app and ABC7NY.com from 7am to 1pm. Pre-race coverage from Fort Wadsworth kicks off on WABC-TV at 7am.
ESPN2 and ESPN.com will also show the marathon from 8am to 11:30am.
Keep in mind that the official end time of the race is actually at 10pm so all these different at-home viewing options will only allow you to witness the very beginning of the massive event.
May we offer some advice? Given the fact that the weather is supposed to be beautiful on Sunday (low-to-mid 60s, you’ll only need a sweater if heading outside!), why not watch the morning kickoff on TV (or whatever device functions as your TV at home) and catch the second portion of the race out in the streets? There will be plenty of people cheering the runners all around town, and local businesses have already revealed that they will be serving special drinks, food options and goodies tied to the athletic event.
It is sure to be a fun time… especially after a weekend spent binge-eating candies and drinking cocktails while celebrating Halloween.

Cheffing at some of New York’s most acclaimed restaurants, chef Tim Meyers’s resume ranges from Michelin-starred status, including Eleven Madison Park and Blanca, to neighborhood favorites including Roberta’s (also the sister restaurant to the aforementioned, Blanca). Now, Meyers is striking out on his own, bringing his ingredient-forward sensibilities to Brooklyn.
On November 1, Williamsburg will welcome Field Guide (235 Kent Avenue at Grand Street). Drawing inspiration from the American countryside, the restaurant pays homage to Meyers’s childhood in Central New York, with a farm-to-table dining approach. The environment here leans into the finer side of life, as the 60-seat, candle-lit space features white-linen tables, hanging light fixtures and a custom bar inspired by Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Go’o Shrine in Naoshima, Japan. Having hands in more than just the plate, Meyers also created the 17-foot mural that sits behind the bar.
Complimentary bread service starts the meal with fresh sourdough and cultured butter sourced from the Central region of New York. Appetizers begin with a fig-wrapped Pork & Pistachio Terrine and Chilled Poached Shrimp with ginger rooibos tea. Hokkaido Scallops in a porcini mushroom broth and a turnip purée sit next to Squash Blossom Risotto with rose wine, herbs de Provence and pecorino romano. Covering the range of the river to land, mains include a Rainbow Trout with a Meyer lemon-pine nut gremolata and a Pork Loin ‘Prime Rib’ with blackberry-shiso compote and sweet corn purée. Desserts round out the menu with a citrusy Pavlova and a Buckwheat Chocolate Torte with a maple-tonka chantilly. And while the menu can easily be found at the finest restaurants, the self-billed “down-to-Earth dining,” the prices here stay relatively grounded, with appetizers starting at $13, and the most expensive dish, the Beef Tenderloin Filet, capping at $45.
Building award-winning programs for Bar Boulud, Boulud Sud and Danny Meyers’ Marta, partner and wine director Mackenzie Khosla helms the beverage program. Offering classics alongside exploratory vinos, diners can drink international varietals by the glass or the bottle. Just like the menu, ingredients also drive the cocktails. Take for example the I Like to Be an Optimist with lapsang, tomato, chile and chocolate.
