📆Issue No. 60 - March 21-23, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

It’s officially spring, and this weekend has so many opportunities to get outside and enjoy weather that is actually comfortable. From a neurodiversity celebration at the zoo to over 80,000 tulips in Union Square, whether you're a planner or a "let's just see where the day takes us" family, there's something here for you.

We’re planning on taking our toddler to the movies for the very first time this weekend. The Pout-Pout Fish is in theaters now, and if your little one has had that book read to them no fewer than 200 times, then they might enjoy seeing it on screen. As always, if we missed your favorite happening around the city, reply here or find us at [email protected].

Now, let’s get into the weekend. Enjoy!

P.P.S. Want to partner with us? Have an event we should highlight? We work with brands that parents actually want in their lives (you know, the ones that don't make us choose between "kid-friendly" and "still cool"). Email us at [email protected] if that sounds like you.

Click the option that fits, and feel free to tell us why. We read every response because we're nosy like that.
