[ December 20, 2007 to January 13, 2008. ] New York City can get pretty crazy during the Holidays, but, in fact, with seven circuses in town, New York has never been more of a circus than it is now. Hailing from Moscow, Harlem, French Canada, China and good old fashioned New York, in typical New York style even the circuses can teach children […]

I think I love being out in nature in the Fall better even than in the summer. The smell of the damp leaves on the ground, the crisp autumn air, it’s very relaxing and great being outdoors with the kids at this time of year.
But you don’t need to hop in the car to get […]

Growing up in New York City, one of our family traditions was going apple picking in the Hudson Valley every Fall. It’s a tradition I’ve enjoying continuing with my own kids because it’s a great day out in the country, it’s economical (considering the price of apples from FreshDirect), and it’s even trendy (if you’re […]

When you are a new parent New York can be like a sea of humanity: people, people everywhere, but not a soul to commiserate with. Finding the right parenting group can give you an instant social network to share the trials and tribulations of parenthood. Some mothers groups plan events and get-togethers, some offer seminars […]

When we were growing up, playgrounds had sprinklers. Now, playgrounds have “water features.” (This is where I would define what a water feature is, but I really have no idea how I would do that without just saying that it’s a feature that has to do with water.) I guess, the point is that playground […]

Putting together a NYC best beaches article was one of the hardest posts I’ve tried to do. For a city that you don’t really associate with beaches at all, there sure are a lot of them—and a lot of great beaches too. Another thing that made it hard is that there are some terrific articles […]

Have you heard that they are building a water park on Randall’s Island? I wasn’t able to tell if it is finally going to be built, but seems like it’s either going to be open by next summer or…never (anybody know anything about this?) If it ever gets built, it looks like it will be […]

The great thing about New York City’s outdoor festivals is that everyone can enjoy them. If it’s kids music, at least the grown ups can enjoy being outdoors on a lovely day or evening, relaxing. And, generally kids will put up with an outdoor concert or performance if they can run around, dance, play and […]

There’s something just totally magical about outdoor movies. Maybe it’s just that we don’t get to go out after dark that much any more since becoming parents, but sitting outside on a summer evening in New York under the stars and relaxing to enjoy a movie is just the kind of old fashioned, yet hip, […]
