March 28, 2022 by Amy Sullivan

Looking for some ideas of how to spend your weekend in Lower Manhattan? Here are some itineraries that will take you through FiDi Tribeca and Battery Park City…

 

Tribeca & Battery Park City 

Start the day off in Tribeca at a one hour drop in session at the Craft Studio . Sessions are $26.95 and you can enjoy such crafts as clay play, woodworking, fabric, and much more. Be sure to reserve a spot before you go. 

After Craft Studio head over to Duane Park Patisserie for a sweet treat. They are home of the ring ding!

After you are fueled and caffeinated walk south to Brookfield Place  to lace up your skates and hit  The Rink.

Then warm up with lunch at Hudson Eats.

Finish the day (if not too chilly) at the brand new Playscape in Battery Park. This multi-leveled landscape includes granite slides and climbing structures that seamlessly blend with the surroundings . Invite children to explore high and low ladders footbridge, tunnel, and other fun that awaits. 

 

FiDi – Governor’s Island Day Trip 

Take the ferry over to Governors Island and explore their brand new Winter Village. The Village includes a 5,000 square foot ice skating rink, lawn games, fire pits, sled and bike rentals, and amazing food and warm beverages from Little Eva’s and Joe Coffee Company.
