We know this statement might ruffle some feathers with Starbucks fans who love pumpkin spice everything. But we don’t think any beverage represents fall in New York more than apple cider. You can find it bottled on store shelves, or maybe you even like to mull some yourself in a slow cooker or on the stove. But there’s something special about going straight to the mill and getting it right from the producer. Check out these great apple cider mills in New York that are perfect for warming up on a chilly fall afternoon.
