![Surprise Happy Ending to Carroll Gardens Basil War! [Curbed]
Today fresh basil grows anew on President Street. It was apparently a gift, for next to it is a simple sign written (by a kid, judging from the spelling) on a piece of white paper: “Hey, Hwoever you are, thanks for the new basil!!!”](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kovqsyJRSL1qz8k03o1_500.jpg)

Often thought of as the real “Little Italy” of NYC, Arthur Avenue is a wildly popular destination for foodies from all over. There are countless restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and bars along Arthur Avenue, as well as its lesser known counterpart, 187th Street. Arthur Avenue is quite a popular day trip for families with small children because it is just a few blocks away from the world-famous Bronx Zoo.

Before I became a father, friends and family warned me that I’d have no time for geeky pursuits. I was afraid they’d be proven right but, after six years of fatherhood, I can safely say that Ben and Naomi have helped me become a better geek. To celebrate Father’s Day, here are ten things that I’ve discovered (or rediscovered) thanks to the kids.
An Unusually Tidy Stack of Toys
MGMT: No Children Were Harmed In The Making Of This Video. Well, OK, Maybe One. [Daddy Types]
…while it’s entirely possible that the little kid in the video is crying inconsolably because director Ryan Tintori only shot, Terrence Malick-style, in that toddler version of “magic hour,” the few minutes right before naptime, I highly doubt it… the kid’s real problem is his parents, the ones who agreed to put their kid in a music video in the first place—and to let his trauma be the star.
One of our Ikeas somewhere had a slide at the entrance to the kids section, which was mildly awesome. But either I forgot which Ikea it was, or they tore it out, because it’s gone now, which mildly sucks.
Maybe took it out so they could introduce this new, littler, product-size slide. Now instead of a few minutes of playing in the store, Ikea can channel your kid’s badgering into an…
Shakespeare for kids? Why not? Actors who love Shakespeare want audiences to love it too and so New York City is full of wonderful. free outdoor Shakespeare performances that are particularly engaging and can be fun for kids. From “Shakespeare on he Run” where the audience literally has to chase the performers to the comedic Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, there’s plenty of more accessible Shakespeare to…
Oh Sunday Best how I love you, with your fabulous DJs, imported food carts from the Red Hook Ballfields and lazed relaxing under the trees with other likeminded Brooklynites. For those of you who haven’t been, Sunday Best is at The Yard (just before you cross the Gowanus Canal on Carroll Street). It starts on May 24 and runs through September 6, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. It’s all ages, with enough dancing kids to keep things cute. Pony…
With 16 schools now officially closed due to the swine flu epidemic and some more parents starting to keep their kids home in a preventative measure, over 10,000 children are at home this week, and probably more to come.We always wonder what we can do to help when New York CIty families are in crisis. So, we decided to try to help by doing what we do best: providing interesting and educational…
Brooklyn Designs was a bit smaller this year overall, but it was bigger for two exhibitors: Argington and Casa Kids by Roberto Gil. These two had big spaces which were outside the hall and facing the street, making it easy to see their new stuff. While we don’t generally feature folks we’ve featured before (we look for new stuff), these two had some really nice new designs for design minded parents….
There are so many events going on to celebrate Mom that it could easily be renamed “Mother’s Weekend.” Of course, we’ve got all those events covered, plus plenty non-mom themed ones, too. And since the sun is supposedly going to rear its head this weekend, it might be the perfect opportunity to head out and celebrate by spending time with the family…
Hundreds of parents gathered outside City Hall yesterday to protest wait lists at public kindergartens, and thousands more rallied over cuts to early childhood programs. Mayor Bloomberg’s response? “They complained about a couple of hundred kids not being able to get into the schools that they wanted to get into,” he said. “I can tell you how to fix that: just lower the quality of the schools. Isn’t it wonderful that…
