The New York Pumpkin and Jack-o'-lantern Patch: Some Smashing Links

What follows is a list of pumpkin-related links that caught my eye. The most eye-catching pumpkins that I found on my walk through the Village yesterday were the Jack-o'-lantern breads featured at Amy's Bread on Bleecker Street (picture). Also, be on the lookout at this time of year for New York pumpkin cheesecakes, pumpkin gelato, and even pumpkin ale.

• Crate and Barrel's Squash and Pumpkin Servers, $12.95-$34.95
• Stonewall Kitchen's Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix
• Smashing Pumpkins' Upcoming New York Concert Dates: November 6 and 7, 2008 at the United Palace Theatre.
• Camp Sunshine's New York Pumpkin Festival, Saturday, October 25, Central Park.
Enter on 72nd Street.
• Animals love playing with pumpkins. Boo at the Zoo (Bronx Zoo; Central Park Zoo) features the delightful interplay of animals and squash. At the Bronz Zoo website, watch the cute video of the lace monitor sticking its head in a pumpkin. Adorable! See the Wildlife Conservation Society website for more.
An often unforeseen dilemma in shopping for a nice big pumpkin in New York City is the realization that you may have to hail a cab in order to bring it home.
