NYC Life: Films, Wine & Food, Comedy & Cabaret
We love autumn in NYC. After those lazy hazy days of summer, the city comes to life again. Here are just a few fun things coming up this month. Fill up your calendars, tomatoes.
Oct. 7-Oct. 16. New York Film Festival
The New York Film Festival is back and it’s a great chance to see classics, documentaries, and full-length feature films by the world’s great filmmakers. One film that caught our attention is a documentary, Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, an affectionate, often hilarious and unexpectedly moving valentine to the mother-daughter act to end all mother-daughter acts. Carrie Fisher will be at the Oct. 10th screening. Get the full line up at the New York Film Festival (NYFF).
