Apple Orchards in NYC
Every now and then a little something reminds us that Manhattan has distinctively rural roots. Before Wall Street became synonymous with high finance, it referred to a bulwark meant to keep the citizens of New York safe. And before Orchard Street meant bargain shopping on the Lower East Side, it was the site of an apple orchard.
On Sunday, October 18th, the Lower East Side Business Improvement District reminds us all of the apples that once grew on Orchard Street via its second annual apple festival. Watch apple cider being made. Sample apples from local farms. Taste the variety of treats that can be made from apples, including apple sausage, apple pies, apple tarts and apple turnovers. There will be apple-themed arts and crafts, plus musical celebrations of this favorite fruit, too. And even if it rains, the fun will go on under big tents erected just for the festival.
