Weekends in the City

If your child is like Dubbers, he or she has a pretty demanding routine Monday through Friday.  While weekends provide most people a break from work, commitments and deadlines, they can actually bring more anxiety to parents of a child with special needs.  Lack of a schedule or routine can backfire and make these two days much more stressful then a typical work day.

My husband and I try and come up with a list of places to visit, activities or playdates to schedule at the beginning of each season.  Then when we come upon a Saturday or Sunday with no set plans, we have a list to fall back on.  Our finds featured in these Weekends in the City posts are meant to provide ideas and inspiration for activities and places to visit in or around NYC.
