Things to Do in New York on November 1, 2026: Fort Totten History and the Last Vintage

Fort Totten history in Queens

NYC Parks lists a Civil War living-history event at Fort Totten on November 1, 2026, run with the Bayside Historical Society and Company K of the 67th NY Infantry (NYC Parks). The draw is the detail: what Union soldiers ate, wore and carried, presented by reenactors rather than in glass cases. It is scheduled for that date only, so it is not a repeat weekend option. It suits travelers already in Queens or anyone with a slow Sunday and a specific interest in military history. Check the Queens guide before you build the rest of the day around it.

Last call for Stormville

Secret NYC reports that Stormville Airport holds its final outdoor vintage market before closing for winter, with about 500 vendors on an airstrip first used in 1920 (Secret NYC). This is a state trip, not a five-borough stop. Without a car, skip it rather than lose a day to logistics. With a car, confirm admission and opening hours on the organizer's listing before you leave. Wear shoes for tarmac, because this is a market on an airfield, not an indoor hall. The final outdoor edition means no second chance this season, so check the date before you commit.

Cinema 123 is dark

6sqft reports that Cinema 123 by Angelika on the Upper East Side closed after more than 60 years, following the owner's agreement to sell the property (6sqft). If rain pushes you toward a movie, choose another theater and check showtimes directly. Do not turn up expecting this one to be open. The theater had been part of the Upper East Side for more than six decades, so this is a permanent closure, not a renovation break.
