Family Fun for the Fall: What to Do With Kids in New York

All talk this week has turned to fall.  All over the city (and beyond!) there are kid-friendly activities that the whole family will love.  From art and history to picking and playing, these will keep you busy all season.

{ Jazzed! The Changing Beat of 125th Street }

The Children’s Museum of Manhattan, partnered with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, has created an exhibit that encourages children to interactively learn about the history of the jazz genre and how it came to shape New York’s Harlem Renaissance. Kids can interactively learn to scat, tap, and swing like legendary performers of the day! You can find a detailed list of daily Jazzed! Programs and Saturday performances from now until December 31 here.
