The leaves are changing and the air is crisp: Fall has officially arrived in New York! And while you might find yourself struggling to emerge from your cocoon of blankets (like ourselves), there's nothing like a cozy, comfort food-filled restaurant reservation to convince you to dress up and step out. Embrace the season while you warm up over a romantic date night dinner or rustic group feast at these dreamy eateries channeling all the autumn vibes. They're basically the next best thing to a countryside escape.
