The NY Minute: Tips for New Parents, Festivals and Carnivals, UWS with Toddlers, Toy Theater Museum and More

6/4/10 - By Anna Fader

Photo of the Week: A pie eating contest at Mohonk in the Hudson Valley last weekend. I tried to convince my husband to take part, but he wasn't into it. I can't imagine why—although apparently the kids said the pies were too hot and one kid kept having to stop to pick the pie out of his nose.

Last week we launched our Family Travel Guide and it wasn't until the middle of this week that somebody asked me if there was supposed to be more than two posts in it. Uh, yeah. Apparently the only one who could see the guide was me. Nice.

So I am relaunching our Family Travel Guide with a great new feature—visibility! Woohoo.

Elsewhere in Gotham, this week was all about lists:

We also shared a cool find, a Temporary Toy Theater Museum and Festival in Brooklyn Heights.

And Allison has started a new series: As she is exploring the UWS with her toddler, she's writing up her favorite finds for hanging out, playing and eating, starting in the 60s and moving her way up with 10 spots in 10 blocks. Read, Toddling the UWS: The West 60s.
