Free in New York: Baby Show Giveaway

No, this is not a show about babies. It's a show for families with babies, or expectant parents.

On May 20 and 21 the 2017 New York Baby Show returns to Pier 94.  The extravaganza, the largest show for new and expectant parents in the country, is in its 7th year.

The 2017 New York Baby Show, for expectant and new families, is a family-friendly jamboree of top brands, great speakers and seminars, big giveaways, and lots of learning, support, bonding, and fun as you make your way into parenthood. 

The show is at PIER 94, 711 12th Avenue (52nd & West Side Highway). 

And the show isn't just for moms; the keynote speaker is Jamie Grayson, The BabyGuy. Get more details on speakers and exhibitors here.

I am giving away tickets for you and your family to experience the show. See below for details. Normal ticket price is $30 per family (for 2 adults and up to 4 children), and $20 per individual. 

The first 10 people to sign up here get free tickets; after that, use this link to get 50% off tickets.

Free Movies in NYC

See Frozen tonight at South Street Seaport - free!

One of the pleasures of summer in NYC is seeing free movies around the city. And as days get shorter in August (I know - end of summer already?) movies can start a little earlier, making them perfect for taking little kids.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has an exclusive event, for members only, where you can picnic and watch a movie  - tonight. This is a rare occurrence - usually, you can't picnic on the lush lawns here, but a couple of times a year, they allow it.

Tonight's movie is the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and there is even a pop-up chocolate shop.

Another venue, open to all, has Frozen tonight. The South Street Seaport sets up chairs for its al fresco movies, saving the backs of aging parents.

The screening, part of the See/Change 2014 series, includes dressing up as your favorite Frozen character.

Seeing all that snow and ice will really make you cherish the last of summer!
