In NYC…
I’m a native New Yorker and I spend a lot of time in the city whether it’s visiting friends, family, or entertaining my son with cool and different events. If you’re looking to take a day trip or venture into something different other than what’s around town then this special article is for you. I have searched high and low and picked just a few events that would be fun for you and your family. I’d love to hear from you - what you think? Is this a feature you would like to see more often?
