The spacious, accommodating Wembley Taphouse concourse on Friday night was a family-friendly environment. It was refreshing to see a melting pot of England spectators from different walks of life.
"In addition to our normal service, Babe's will be hosting restaurants and creators from New York City and around the country for tasting menu style dinners during peak summer weekends," Cavin said. "We are looking to curate a family friendly spot during the day, with a supper club in the evening worthy of hiring a babysitter."
Step inside NYBG's Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and be transported to a seemingly alternate universe, where everyday city sights like fire hydrants, pizzerias, taxi cabs, subway stations, construction zones, stoops, everything that screams New York City , are adorned with thousands of meticulously designed flower displays. The result feels like a floral fever dream of sorts. From a brownstone covered in cascades of brightly colored flora to a train station
Even if you're not close by, it's worth making the trip. This is more than just a room with chairs and a few tables; the team behind Pier 57 has worked hard on creating an indoor park vibe. There's soft, turf-style seating where you can stretch out and relax. Kids can stay busy with lawn games like cornhole while you sit back, sip a coffee, and watch them play without feeling guilty (or frozen!). And you all will get some much- needed Vitamin D.
The promise of snow brings a blanket of snow day specials at D.C. restaurants and bars. Some are opening early with discounted food and drinks - including specials for all ages - while others have themed specials. It goes without saying that this storm has the potential to be very dangerous, so think twice and make sure conditions are safe before traveling. Also, because some bars may close if conditions worsen, you should keep an eye on social media.

"This is our first home together as a blended family. I really wanted it to look and feel special for everyone," Cheylene writes. "When designing the rooms, I kept three things in mind: Keep it durable (a must with three boys!), keep it thrifty (we didn't want to spend too much), and keep it FUN. It's all still a work in progress, but we feel very much at home here."
Most New Yorkers know that Park Slope, Brooklyn, is a popular spot for families with great museums, libraries, and parks, but not as many know about its next-door neighbor, Windsor Terrace. This smaller, quieter enclave is one of the most beautiful places in Brooklyn, although I am admittedly partial, having grown up and raised my kids there. It's perfect for families, with peaceful parks, playgrounds, cozy cafés, scenic walks, and plenty of hidden gems.
Founded in 2002 in Northern California by acrobat duo David Jones and Blaze Birge, Flynn Creek Circus tours the Pacific Northwest every year with a different theme. This year's theme, The Bridge, is inspired by Nordic folklore involving a wolf, a troll, and a goat. Traditional-meets-modern circus acts perform under Capitola's classic big top tent, including jugglers, aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, clowns, and hula hoopers who go by names like The Emperor, The Raven, Ferryman and Red Countess.

Part of a global chain, this Indian-French spot inside the Taj Campton hotel is the first US outpost. The "" influence is limited mostly to a tartine and a crepe on the brunch menu, but the food has enough range to please nearly anyone.
One of the favorite things about Christmas is settling down to watch Christmas movies, free from work and school obligations. It's one of the best ways to just relax during the holiday frenzy. Still, with so many streaming services, figuring out what to watch can be difficult to even figure out what to watch, purely from decision overload. That's why we narrowed down the list for you.
Mozart's opera The Magic Flute is long, running for about three hours, and possesses a famously convoluted plot, laden with esoteric philosophical concepts. It's very much a grown-up affair, but you wouldn't know it from Protein's simplified 75-minute dance-theatre adaptation, which is faithful to the original (well, mostly), highly entertaining and suitable for all ages. Certainly, the audience at the performance of Protein's The Magic Flute I attended at a packed The Place, an even mix of children and adults, appeared rapt throughout

Each themed tea is served in a different space.
