New York Family’s Weekend Planner September 3-6

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 Bronx Zoo’s weekend-long celebration of the new PBS show "The Cat in The Hat Knows A Lot About That," the 43rd Annual West Indian Carnival Festival Junior Carnival, the  31st Annual Richmond County Fair in historic Richmond Town, Staten Island and the New York Botanical
Garden’s Summer Harvest Celebration. —

Of course, with the holiday weekend approaching, we know many parents want to do something extra special on one of their last, schedule-free, warm weather days. For inspiration on planning your day, check out our ideas for a lovely labor day, which range from delicious brunch  ideas to share with kids to neighborhood specific itineraries for an entire day of exploring fun. We also have great ideas for picnics in the park, and if you’re hoping to make it to the beach one last time this summer, check out our ideas for where to go, what to pack, what to wear, what to eat and more.
