Wave-Field, Variation O SeeSaws at Seaport Square, next to Pier 17

by

 

As majority of institutions are currently closed to reduce exposure to COVID-19 and #flattenthecurve, some families may still want to stroll the neighborhood to get some fresh air. If playgrounds get too crowded, swing on by the 8 pop-up oversized seesaws. Our whole family of 5, including 2 adults, sat on 1 seesaw. The equipment, like at the playgrounds, have metal handlebars, and thus should be sanitized before each use.

Date: Daily through April 20th

Time: 10 a.m. — 9 p.m.

Location: Seaport Square, next to Pier 17

Fee: Free

Age(s): all ages welcome

Fidi Families Insiders: Come at night when the seesaws are lit up!

CANCELLED — Hopalong Andrew at Whole Foods Tribeca Moved to Online

by

Hopalong Andrew’s weekly free show at Whole Foods Tribeca has been cancelled until further notice. Here is his email:

Howdy,
Duty calls. It’ll be two weeks, likely longer. Stay posted. We gotta do our part to “flatten the curve.” I’m gonna miss seeing you for the next while. Hoping you and your family keep healthy. Please VOTE if you’d like a morning online live event. I’m considering live online morning concerts on YouTube. I’d ask $10 via Venmo. Think “Mr. Hopalong’s Neighborhood.” Simply let me know if you’d participate? For the time being, music and videos are streaming from the comfort of your own home: Here! Let’s hope we get over the hump without too much guff.
Yours truly,
Hopalong Andrew
