First, Central Park will be home to this year's annual Pumpkin Festival, with a pumpkin patch setting up on Cherry Hill. The Parks and Recreation committee are running a ridiculous amount of events for the festival, including a scarecrow design competition, a 20-ft tall jack-o-lantern tower, hayrides, and a haunted house.

If that sounds far too wholesome for your weekend needs, Jimmy's No. 43 in the East Village is having a beer and chili benefit for New Orleans. I've never been, but apparently this place has been named the "best bar with good food," and for $20, you'll get all the chili you can eat and beer you can drink.

Lastly, Zaha Hadid has created a "mobile museum" which may as well be a huge ode to Chanel. The pod-looking structure that contains a Chanel-lover's dream exhibition has landed in Central Park--and the term isn't lightly used. The "building" looks more like a spaceship than anything else, but at least it's furnished with products that are fully familiar to New Yorkers far and wide. Whether you give a damn about Karl Lagerfeld or not, the architectural merit of this project might make the trip worthwhile. And, at worst, it'll just bring you a bit closer to those pumpkins.
