Looking for some great
family adventures this weekend? Check out our weekly newsletter! Every
week we scour the city for the best kid-approved exhibits,
performances, festivals and more, pick our favorites and send them out
each Thursday, just in time for the weekend. This weekend we’re especially excited about the 15th Annual Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day at the US Open, Tug And Barge Week at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Honey Weekend at Wave Hill, and the New York Landmarks: Brooklyn Bridge workshop at CMOM. —
Fortunately, it looks like the week’s rain is finally going away, giving us a warm and sunny weekend to (start to) say farewell to summer. If you’re planning on spending most of your weekend outdoors, check out our ideas for a lovely picnic in city parks; with everything you need (from what to bring, eat and drink to where to go and how to keep the kids happily (and peacefully) playing, it’s a helpful guide to the perfect city picnic.
Of course,
if you’re hoping to get out of the city and head to the beach, we’re all for
that as well! Allow us to introduce our end-of-summer beach
guide, which includes our favorite nearby beachy destinations,
plus suggestions to help kids
make spectacular sandcastles and inspired ideas for seaside play. We also have great swimwear picks for
kids and the best sun care products
for the whole family, and five wonderful grill
recipes; a perfect ending to your "last splash" this summer!
