News: Hurricane Sandy Hits, Houdini Museum Appears in Midtown, a New Bookstore in Park Slope & an Ice Skating Rink in the Bronx
Submitted by Jeff on
As we write this we're just waking up to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The photos and videos going around are harrowing and humbling. Many of our bloggers, friends and family are without power, or evacuated from their homes. We still have no public transportation, no school and (for most) no work. Today is about assessing the damage and trying, slowly but surely, to resume our normal lives. We hope that your family is safe and that you're able to recover as quickly as possible.
A big part of things going back to normal is returning to our routines. And for us, that's telling you about the great things happening in NYC for kids (yes even now)! Eventually, we'll all be up for getting out and about again. And when that happens, we've got the scoop on some new places to explore, including a mini-museum devoted to famed NYC magician Harry Houdini, an outdoor ice skating rink in the Bronx and a second outpost of one of our favorite Brooklyn bookstores. And while you remain homebound, be sure to check out our list of fun things to do indoors to ward off cabin fever.
