*EVENT REMINDER* Target Children's Day - This Saturday in NYC!

Mentioned previously in this space - The free TARGET Children's Day at New York's South Street Seaport is happening this Saturday, June 10th! The weather forecast reads 79 and partly sunny - which sets up a beautiful day for you and your kids along the water at the Seaport. The full schedule of events is posted on the event's website (linked above) and posted below for easy reference. The area west of the Seaport stage has cobblestone streets lined with shops and restaurants, all of which are an easy 2-3 minute walk. Feel free to pack lunches, snacks, and beverages - the seaport has a boardwalk style surface which is not exactly suitable for laying out a blanket...but you can still picnic "city-style" on a nearby park bench. Again, this is New York City and FREE - a great combination!
