YOYO Art Exhibition at Grand Central Terminal
I took my daughter on a mini adventure on Friday. We took the LIRR to Grand Central and enjoyed the YOYO Art Exhibit.
We got Lukeâs after for a yummy snack.
Making memories in Shirley, New York
Cherry Blossoms in Astoria
Petting Zoo Fun
The whole family got to enjoy a little petting zoo moment this past weekend at Puzzles in Astoria.
Art Strong
My daughter recently attended a birthday party at Art Strong in Long Island City. It was actually really spacious, and the activities were pretty cute and creative. I would definitely recommend the space for regular art classes and birthday parties.
Home Depot Fun
Every first Saturday of the month, Home Depot has a free workshop for kids where they make something. In January, my daughter made a toy truck. In February, she made a penguin mailbox. Today, she made a leprechaun trap.
Here are some pics of my daughter making the penguin mailbox in February.
Here are some pics of today.
Looking forward to the workshop in April.
Date night at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant
First date night of the year was at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant. We participated in a Billion Oyster Social. The Billion Oyster Project is a fabulous organization that collects old oyster shells and returns them to the New York Harbor to restore oyster reefs. We enjoyed a three-course tasting menu with cocktail pairings. Everything was yummy ð!
After the social, we stayed and had more oysters and dinner.
Musical Explorer event at Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall has great family programming. This past Saturday, we enjoyed their Musical Explorer program, featuring three performers. It was a great blend of music, dance, and storytelling. Everyone, especially the kids, was encouraged to sing along and learn different cultural dances. We had a great time!
Attended PBR: Unleash the Beast last night.
This weekend, Madison Square Garden is all about the Cowboys. PBR: Unleash the Beast is a bull-riding competition where riders must stay on a bull for 8 seconds. Both rider and bull are then judged by their performance. It’s pretty intense watching everybody ride, but also really fun. My friend and I had the best time.
Here are some photos (and a video) of the night.
