This Week: Best January Events for Kids in NYC & Beyond, Top NYC Openings in 2013, How to Recycle Your Christmas Tree
New is the word of the moment in NYC. We have a new Mayor, a new Schools Chancellor and we're all excited about the new adventures in store for our families in the New Year. To help get you started, all of our sites have posted brand-new January Go Lists highlighting the absolute best things to do with kids throughout the month in NYC, Westchester, New Jersey, on Long Island and beyond. Even though the fun of the holidays is behind us, there are some really amazing activities worth putting on your January calendar, including unique experiences like a family trivia competition in the East Village and a hands-on maker fest in Brooklyn.
With a snowstorm set to hit the city, we're also furiously updating our Winter Fun Guide for the season. Check out our roundup of the best sledding hills in NYC as well as posts on snow tubing, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing in the tri-state area.
Finally, if you're itching to start your post-holiday purge, we have posts about where to donate toys and kids' clothes in New York City and on Long Island, and all the details on how to easily recycle your Christmas tree in NYC.
Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
We kicked off the week with a roundup of fun resolutions for NYC families, all things you can do throughout the New Year.
The Department of Sanitation is already picking up trees curbside. Find out how to make sure your tree goes back into the land, not the landfill.
We took a look back at our favorite family attractions that opened in 2013—all 20 spots are worth putting on your must-see list.
Don't even think about hibernating this month: Our January Go List includes lots of annual favorites including East Harlem's Three Kings Day Parade, Central Park's annual Winter Jam and Beam Center's creative Inventgenuity Festival.
Best bets for the weekend include Thomas the Tank Engine at the New York Botanical Garden, the Asian American Festival at the Children's Museum of the Arts and face time with owls in the Bronx.
