In general
New York City is magical during autumn. All the trees across the city change color and holiday season is coming. Autumn is the perfect due to temperature. It can be cold and rainy but if you're lucky the temperature is comfortable. Central Park is one of the most beautiful places in New York during autumn. Next to the beautiful colors there are a lot of festivals during autumn, for example the New York Fashion Week, the Brooklyn Book festival and the New York Film Week. These are only a few examples of all the festivals and activities during the autumn.
Furthermore, autumn is seen as the perfect season for sightseeing in New York City. You can walk through the streets and see all the highlights without freezing to death or sweating because of the heat. Experiencing Halloween is New York City is really special. During Halloween there are so many activities: several parades, ghost tours and halloween parties. You must experience Halloween in NYC some day. Another thing to do during autumn is visiting a sports game, most sport competitions are beginning so buy your tickets! More information about sport teams in NYC: Sport. Another tip is to go on a NYC movie&tv tour, you'll see locations of the movie: Autumn in New York, among other locations.
When the autumn starts, you know that the holiday season is coming. During the autumn it is possible to ice skate at Rockefeller Center or do some holiday shoppings already. You can visit one of the harvest fests to get in the mood for Thanksgiving. A great place to eat during the autumn is Chelsea Market. Chelsea Market is every year decorated with autumn-like things.

One of my personal faves is the Bagel Store in Williamsburg, where you can eat Rainbow bagels!
Afternoon: Take the subway to Williamsburg or walk across the Williamsburg bridge to enjoy the skyline. Go shopping in Williamsburg and enjoy the several stores, restaurants and art galleries. Williamsburg is a very unique experience and the perfect way to spend your autumn afternoon.
Evening: You can stay in Williamsburg for dinner or take the subway to DUMBO. Spend your night in Brooklyn, get a pizza and watch the sunset behind the Manhattan Skyline (make sure to bring a coat, it will become chilly in the evening). Some of the best pizza places in DUMBO are Juliana's Pizza, Artichoke and Grimaldi's. Watch the how the suns goes down and the city lights appear.
After dinner: After your trip to Brooklyn return to Manhattan and go stargazing on the High Line. Finish the perfect autumn day with a walk through the city (across the High Line). Buy yourself a dessert and enjoy all the city lights with the magical vibe of autumn.
