Decker Farm (New York) The perfect reason to take a boat and go see Staten Island, another farm right in the backyard of Manhattan! However, if you do hop on the Staten Island Ferry, know that you’ll have to transfer to a bus for a 45-minute ride so bring a roadie… The early-1800s farm gets in the fall spirit every weekend in October with pumpkin picking, face painting, a corn maze, hayrides and arts and crafts. This is a great day-trip spot for those with a family who want to escape the skyscrapers and treat the kids to a scenic boat ride along with some fall fun! Click here for more on this Ladyhattan pick!
