Get ready to pumpkin up on the rooftop!

New York City’s Cityside Pumpkin Patch is back and better than ever, taking over The Summer Club’s rooftop located at 8-08 Queens Plaza S in Long Island City.

Starting October 4th, you can explore a magical wonderland of over 10,000 pumpkins, all with stunning views of the city skyline.

The patch will have over 10,000 upstate New York-sourced pumpkins of all shapes and sizes spread across the 25,000-square-foot space. Most ticket packages offer a complimentary pumpkin, however they are also available for purchase individually.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
