Be prepared to be wowed by New Victory Theater's latest production, Catch Me, featuring Canada's Flip FabriQue. The amped-up renditions of traditional circus acts will have the entire family on the edge of their seats.

Just as impressive is the springtime garden fantasy in Historic Hudson Valley, Lightscapes. The illuminated wonderland is filled with larger-than-life flora, fauna and fantasy creatures—all created from recycled materials.  

While the weather this week might make you think otherwise, it's spring and that means cherry blossoms! Check out our round up of the best places to see them in NYC. 

Also happening this season: new exhibits from some of city's best museums, including the American Museum of Natural History's latest on extreme animals and Pattern Wizardry at the Brooklyn Children's Museum.

Museums aren't the only places to find great works of art—the city has a slew of public exhibits in parks and plazas that are definitely worth a visit.

This week's WeeWork projects include using mason jars to create fairy and gnome terrariums. Also for your urban garden or windowsill, bird feeders made out of pipe cleaners. 

Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts kicks off the new season of its Target Storybook Series with a live performance of Harold and the Purple Crayon. Check out our review here. 

This month we're exploring Morningside Heights, a vibrant neighborhood tucked between the Upper West Side and Harlem. Here's our round up of best things to do and places to explore. 

Best bets for the weekend include the Queens County Farm Museum's Children's Carnival, Hot Peas 'N Butter at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center and a showing of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn on the big screen at BAM Rose Cinemas.
