September Musings
There was a moment this September where seemingly overnight, what had been Summer's pace shifted to that of Fall. The tourist crowds thinned out, dorm rooms filled up, and Saturday mornings started smelling like coffee and cut grass instead of sunscreen. It was the season of full calendars: back-to-school drop-offs, first football tailgates, and farm stands swapping tomatoes for apples and squash.
Meanwhile, the real estate market has its own version of that seasonal reset. After a summer that never really slowed down, September buyers showed up - motivated to close on their dream property before year end! For those thinking of making a move, there is still ample time to launch in what is looking to be a robust Fall 2026 market!

BOSTON
The Museum of Fine Arts has opened Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt's Golden Age, the only U.S. venue for an exhibition centered on Hatshepsut, Amenhotep III, and Akhenaten - three of ancient Egypt's most transformative rulers. The show features major loans from the Met and Berlin's Egyptian Museum, including the only royal sarcophagus from the 18th Dynasty on display outside of Egypt. On view through December 6, it's a genuine "plan a visit around it" exhibition.
NYC
The New Museum reopens after a summer closure with Arthur Jafa: I Am Tony, the most comprehensive survey to date of one of the art world's most influential living artists, opening September 24 alongside several other new shows. A significant art-world moment, and a strong reason to make time for the Bowery this fall.

The team behind Saltie Girl is taking over the storied former B&G Oysters space on Tremont Street with The Shell Bar, a new seafood concept built around refined but playful fish dishes, an extensive raw bar, and kettle-fried fish and chips. A coveted South End address landing in trusted hands.
NYC
After nearly a decade away, Carnegie Deli has returned. The legendary New York institution reopened September 15 at 834 Seventh Avenue - just blocks from its original home - bringing back its towering pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, cheesecake, and celebrity Wall of Fame. It's the kind of only-in-New-York comeback story worth experiencing in person.

BOSTON
The Head of the Charles Regatta returns to the Charles River October 16–18, the world's largest three-day rowing event and a true Boston institution since 1965. Up to 300,000 spectators are expected to line both banks and the bridges over the weekend, with more than 2,000 boats competing against a backdrop of peak fall foliage. It's equal parts athletic spectacle and social event - and gives readers something to look forward to well past the newsletter's send date.
NYC
Film at Lincoln Center presents the 64th New York Film Festival, running September 25 through October 12. This year's lineup opens with James Gray's Paper Tiger and includes Luca Guadagnino's Artificial, one of the fall's most anticipated premieres. One of the city's most prestigious cultural events, with plenty of the festival still ahead as the month turns over.

BOSTON
The storied French fragrance and candle house Diptyque is joining Newbury Street's wave of fall openings, taking its place alongside newcomers like King Arthur Baking Co. and Birkenstock on one of the city's most storied shopping blocks. A polished, gift-ready addition to Luxury Row.
NYC
New York label Rùadh opened its first permanent physical showroom and design studio in SoHo this September. Founded by Jac Cameron, also the co-founder of AYR, the brand is known for artisanal, small-batch craftsmanship and a strong ecological ethos, with pieces already carried at Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and Bergdorf Goodman. A meaningful next step for one of New York's most quietly buzzed-about labels, and a great "get there before everyone else does" moment for readers.
