From department-store pop-ups to fashion exhibitions and food festivals, these are the fall happenings worth adding to your calendar.

There is no shortage of reasons to stay busy in New York this fall. Fashion is moving beyond the runway and into department stores, workout studios, and museum galleries, while the city’s food calendar is just as packed. Nordstrom has turned The Corner into a gourmet market, Bloomingdale’s is checking guests into its own hotel-inspired retail experience, and Abercrombie’s YPB line is taking over Barry’s NoHo studio for a weekend.
The museums are having a particularly good season, too. Costume Art continues at The Met through January, while a new Louis C. Tiffany exhibition opens later this month with nearly 120 works exploring the designer’s studios. Add in FAD Market’s fall dates and four days of New York City Wine &amp; Food Festival events, and there is plenty to plan around before the season gets away from us.
Below, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the fashion, art, shopping, and food events to know in New York this fall.

Through Oct. 10
Nordstrom NYC has turned The Corner at 57th Street and Broadway into a market for the season. Open through Oct. 10, The Corner Market brings together gourmet pantry goods, hosting essentials, tableware, and gifts from more than 50 brands.
The lineup mixes New York favorites with plenty of familiar names. Fishs Eddy, Monte’s Fine Foods, and Jamagansett sit alongside Flamingo Estate, BonBon, Sugarfina, Ghia, Jacobsen Salt Co., Fishwife, and more. Gift boxes start at $20 and can be filled with products from across the shop, with engraving available on both the wooden and traditional gift-box options.
For anyone already thinking about fall dinners—or getting dangerously ahead on holiday gifting—it is an easy place to start.

Through Oct. 19
This fall, Bloomingdale’s has given its 59th Street flagship a hotel of its own. Created with The Ritz-Carlton, Hotel Bloomingdale’s takes over the store’s Carousel through Oct. 19 with fashion, beauty, wellness, home, travel, and more than 55 brands.
The assortment is split into five hotel-inspired destinations. “Travel” covers essentials from brands including Alex Mill and Carl Friedrik; “The Spa” brings in La Prairie and Diptyque; “Room Service” includes Frette, Jonathan Adler, and Gohar World; “Souvenirs” ranges from Rag &amp; Bone to The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout; and the “Newsstand” offers Assouline, WSJ. Magazine, Cultured, and travel guides.
There is plenty happening beyond the Carousel, too. Studio 59 has become a Ritz-Carlton-inspired hotel bar, La Prairie is running a limited-time spa residence, and a Nespresso coffee bar is serving complimentary samples on Fridays and Saturdays. An exclusive 26-piece AQUA x Nicky Hilton collection is also part of the fall rollout.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Costume Art at The Met</h2>

Through Jan. 10, 2027
If you somehow missed this year’s Met Gala exhibition, there is still time.
The Costume Institute’s Costume Art remains open through Jan. 10, 2027, bringing nearly 400 objects together across The Met’s collection. Garments are paired with paintings, sculpture, and other works of art to examine the relationship between clothing and the body.
The exhibition also marks the debut of The Costume Institute’s new nearly 12,000-square-foot galleries beside the Great Hall. That alone makes this one worth revisiting, even if you already saw the red carpet in May.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">FAD Market Fall Pop-Ups</h2>

Oct. 3–4, Oct. 24–25, and Nov. 7–8
FAD Market is back for fall with three remaining weekends in Brooklyn. Empire Stores in Dumbo hosts the market on Oct. 3 and 4 and again on Nov. 7 and 8, while a Cobble Hill edition comes to St. Paul on Oct. 24 and 25. All three run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The market has long focused on independent makers working across fashion, art, and design, which makes it a useful break from the big department-store activations elsewhere on this list. Come for jewelry, clothing, home objects, and accessories; leave with something you probably did not plan to buy.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">YPB by Abercrombie x Barry’s NoHo Takeover</h2>

Oct. 9–11
Your fall workout clothes are getting their own event. YPB by Abercrombie has teamed up with Barry’s on a multi-season activewear partnership, and the collaboration is taking over Barry’s NoHo studio from Oct. 9 through 11.
The first collection was developed with Barry’s instructors Jon Herrmann, Amy Harioka, and Lacy Mitchell and takes its palette from the studio’s Red Room. Red accents run through black and neutral performance pieces, including sports bras, leggings, bike shorts, track pants, hoodies, and training separates. The women’s collection includes 12 styles, while the men’s assortment includes six.
The collection launches online Oct. 1 before arriving at Barry’s globally later in the month. For the NoHo takeover, guests can book classes through Barry’s website and app.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">New York City Wine &amp; Food Festival</h2>

Oct. 15–18
Come hungry. The New York City Wine &amp; Food Festival returns Oct. 15 through 18 with more than 50 events and over 300 chefs, winemakers, mixologists, and culinary figures spread across the city.
This year’s lineup returns to The Seaport, with the Rooftop at Pier 17 joining the festival campus. Rachael Ray hosts the Blue Moon Burger Bash, Marcus Samuelsson leads a Saturday Grand Tasting, Kwame Onwuachi takes over New York After Dark, and Alex Guarnaschelli hosts Taste of Italy. Sunday brings FoodieCon, a Grand Tasting, and The Cookout with JJ Johnson, Angela Yee, Whoopi Goldberg, and a performance by Method Man.
There are also smaller dinners throughout the weekend, including events with Nobu Matsuhisa, Angie Mar, Charlie Palmer, and Flynn McGarry. In other words, one ticket is probably not going to be enough.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany</h2>

Opens Oct. 22
Later this month, The Met turns its attention to Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Opening Oct. 22, Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany looks inside the design process behind one of America’s most recognizable decorative-arts studios. The exhibition brings together nearly 120 works, including design drawings alongside stained glass, mosaics, enamels, and other objects.
For anyone interested in fashion’s neighboring worlds of interiors, jewelry, color, and craft, this is an especially good one. Louis Comfort Tiffany’s studios helped shape the visual language of the Gilded Age, and the drawings offer a rare look at how those elaborate interiors and objects began on paper.
