It’s officially October, which means one thing… Pumpkin Season! We asked readers where to get a pumpkin fix in the neighborhood this fall, and here’s what they shared with us.
Amy’s Bread – 672 9th Ave (bw W46/47th St)
Amy’s Bread does it again with perfect treats for any occasion. Their pumpkin donuts are officially back for pumpkin season!
“Amy’s Pumpkin donut, the most delicious thing in all of Manhattan. It’s glorious,” said Kerry Byrne.
Bird & Branch – 359 W45th St (bw 8/9th Ave)
Bird & Branch serves a variety of seasonal specials, including the Mockingbird. It’s a latte made with fresh kabocha and cinnamon, and our readers are raving about it!
“The Mockingbird at Bird & Branch! A latte that uses real kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) and tastes like the best possible cozy fall drink in the universe. I wasn’t into PSLs (too syrupy sweet) but I will drink the hell out of this. Their year-round kabocha bread is also excellent,” said Lu Han.
Back Pocket Bar – 462 W49th St (corner of 10th Ave)
Back Pocket Bar serves seasonal Pumpkin Ale from Montauk Brewing Company, and it’s the perfect complement to the cozy fall weather in their great outdoor set up, especially when served with some popcorn.

“Pumpkin Ale at Back Pocket Bar. Great taste that puts me in the perfect mood for the season,” said Dana Lech.

Our readers are crazy for Dolly Varden’s seasonal special! Their new dessert is a Pumpkin Mousse with a salted caramel filling and a spice cake base, and it’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
“Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse at Dolly Varden — it tastes good and looks great for the ‘gram. Extra points for the gem of a venue,” said Annelise Moloney.
Grind Coffee – 602 9th Ave (corner of W43rd St)
Get your classic PSL (pumpkin spice latte) at Grind while indulging in their many pastry and food options.
