Tilt-a-Whirl Alert!

Grab the kids and the barf bag and head to New York's Central Park Wolman rink, where you can ride the rides, eat some cotton candy, and let loose for an afternoon with the family. Newfangled rides like the Kiteflyer, the Convoy, the Buzzjet, and the Hydro racer will keep the kids entertained for hours. Alas, no Tilt-a-whirl. Maybe you won't need the barf bag...

Sunday on the Park!

The first phase of the Highline Park in downtown Manhattan is getting ready to open.  The elevated park is an old railroad that cuts a path from the West Village through Chelsea.   It will feature organic landscape design, and lounge chairs for relaxing.  (the other elevated park on an old railroad is in Paris, the Promenade Planee)  The rules - leave the dog at home, no bikes, blades or skateboards, and don't feed the birds!  Enter on Ganesvoort, 14th St., or 23rd St. and enjoy! 

Tobaggoning!

What is more fun than sledding in the winter?  And what is sledding on steroids? 

A giant tobaggon!  Its fun, cold, exhilarating and a little dangerous.  But this awesome tobaggon will keep you safe as you rocket down the hill.  Hand made in a beautiful little town in Colorado called Silverton from sustainable wood, it is functional and sculptural.  And fun for all!   Let it snow!
