We might be stuck inside, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy our favorite family attractions and activities in NYC.
Local kids' museums, artists, shops and businesses have shifted gears and made their services available digitally. Yes, we might be forced to get comfortable in our tiny apartments, but we can make the best of it. Check out our go-to classes, performances and other fun online happenings to pass the time. Stay safe, NYC!
