"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME TONIGHT'S DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER, CARROT TOP

You are robbing yourself of one of the quintessential New York experiences if you don’t check out the speaker program at the 92nd Street YMCA. It’s one of the most profound examples of the diversity of life in New York City. There’s something for everyone and the guest lecturers range from Morley Safer to Howie Mandel and Elie Wiesel and the topics run the gamut from “For The Love of Chocolate,” to” Charting Your Hormone Options” to “The Future of Islam.” Talk about a great first date. Or surprise your spouse and don’t tell him/her where you’re going. Image the “brownie points” you’ll accumulate when the cab pulls up to the 92nd Street Y… What a way to spend an evening!

A little over a week ago we launched our new kids blog, Kids In The City! It’s purpose is to record the day trips and adventures in New York from a child’s perspective. My kids are permitted to choose the venue they want to see. After we arrive back home they blog about their experience from their own point of view, highlighted the good, the bad and the ugly as only a kid can! We add photos when we can! Please check out our kids activities section and send us your suggestions and reviews!!

Thanksgiving is almost here. Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Parade is on Thanksgiving it’s a perfect time to see the big balloons and enjoy sights that New York has to offer. Thanksgiving parades are always fun to watch and become great memories. The parade is early Thanksgiving day.
