New Activities in our Directory. We’ve expanded our directory beyond camps, classes, and parties with a family fun category, which lists play spaces, museums, family fun centers, playgrounds, and so much more. We’re still filling that out, and we’re going to be adding even more categories into the directory in the coming months, so make sure to check it out periodically to see what’s new.

Neighborhood Guides Easier to Find. If you just want to see the latest news about what’s happening near you, we’ve added the full list of our neighborhood guides on the right side of the site. You can choose your region first to see what’s in your larger area, and from that page you can choose your neighborhood. These guides will show you all of our articles that are just about your local area. For events and listings you can still use the calendar and directory, which have always had neighborhood filters.

Activity Guides, Too. You’ll see our full list of activity guides on the sidebar, too. Click on any link to see all the articles about Halloween, Classes, Parties, or whatever you are looking for today.

Add Events to Your Calendar. You can add events to your Google, iCal, or Yahoo calendar with the links we’ve added on calendar listings. Go to our Event Calendar, use the filters if you want to limit your results, click to expand a listing, and you’ll find the “add to calendar” links in the blue box.  

Our NYC Teen Newsletter. Just for teens, we’re starting a new monthly newsletter to share some cool cultural activities, internship, classes and volunteering opportunities, and other ways teens can get the most out of this awesome city. Our first one will be coming out soon, so sign up here.

Whew! That’s a lot. But we’re not nearly done. We’re dedicated to doing all we can to help families save time and spend more of it in meaningful and awesome ways. We’ll keep making updates and improvements, and we’ll keep you posted as we do.

As always, you can send your feedback through our contact form. We read every email and love to hear your ideas, stories, and concerns.
