A Fall Day in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Embracing Fall in Cambridge, Massachusetts

When we think of fall in Boston, Massachusetts, we think of seasonal food, warm fall drinks, and enjoying the New England fall foliage with a walk through a Boston park. Oh...and of course seasonal fall ice cream flavors! Come join us on a fall day around Boston, Massachusetts!

Fueling up with Coffee

We start off our day in Central Square, at our New City Microcreamery shop that is tucked along Mass Ave in the heart of Cambridge. To fuel up for our fall day, we pick from their new fall drink menu. With options like pumpkin spice latte, salted caramel latte, apple cider, chai-der, and french toast chai, there is a perfect fall drink for everyone! Coffee in hand, we head out for our next adventure...brunch. 

Seasonal Brunch on the Patio

For this fall day, we’re travelling outside of Boston to the town of Hudson, Massachusetts. We pop over to say hello to our friends at our sister restaurant, Rail Trail Flatbread Company, who also happens to serve up the best brunch in Massachusetts. We check out their new fall brunch menu, which hosts seasonal dishes like apple cider donuts, apple crisp pancakes, and bourbon peach pancakes. We cozy up on their outdoor patio on this crisp New England fall day as we enjoy our brunch by the heaters. After enjoying our favorite brunch, we head back into Boston to continue our fall day. 

Fall Foliage in the City

Back in Boston, we embark on a stroll to see some classic New England fall foliage. We go on a mini Boston fall foliage tour, stopping at some of the best places in the city to view the fall leaves. Our fall foliage tour includes stops at The Boston Common and The Public Garden, which are both beautiful places to take in the crisp fall weather and walk along the colorful trees. As we head back to Cambridge, we take in the foliage along the Boston skyline on the Longfellow Bridge. 

Seasonal Scoops

We can’t think of a better way to end our fall day around Boston then with some seasonal ice cream. Here at New City Microcreamery, we’ve added seasonal fall ice cream flavors to our menu. We pick from flavors perfect for the fall, including apple crisp, cinnamon, and pecan pie. We enjoy our fall ice cream scoops in Cambridge’s Central Square, making sure to head back into the scoop shop to grab an ice cream pint for later. 

Fall is one of our favorite seasons here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and there are so many more things we love to enjoy with our friends and family this time of year. As our perfect fall day comes to a close, we are already thinking of our next adventure. Apple picking at one of our favorite Massachusetts orchards? A fall hike through the Blue Hills? Whatever it is, we know that it will be an amazing time spent with friends and family.

We also love spending the fall season in Hudson, Massachusetts, the home of our other New City Microcreamery scoop shop! Check out what we planned for a perfect fall day in Hudson, MA here!

A Fall Day in Hudson, Massachusetts

Hudson, Massachusetts is home to the Best Ice Cream in Massachusetts as well as the best New England fall activities. Our favorite ice cream flavors are inspired by New England fall. Pumpkin Cheesecake is a fall spice base with pumpkin puree, graham cracker crust and a cream cheese swirl. Another favorite is Carrot Cake. Carrot Cake is a carrot cake base with shredded carrots, crushed ginger, cinnamon allspice and fennel.

One fall activity to do in Hudson is to visit Ferjulian’s farm. They sell pumpkins, fresh produce and other home-made goods. Another fall activity is Honey Pot Hill. You can go apple picking, try their cider donuts or shop for produce and cider in their farm store. Another great apple orchard is Tougas Farm. You can also go apple picking here or pick up bags of apples at their farm store.

After a long day of fall activities we always stop by Rail Trail Flatbread Co. for dinner and head back to New City Microcreamery for dessert. We love fall here at New City and Hudson, MA is the perfect place to explore all things autumn.
