NYC Weekend - BBG & New York Marathon
The weather is getting chilly but it’s a good time to hit any parks for the fall foliage (we chose Brooklyn Botanic Garden). It was also the weekend for the big annual marathon!

Watch New York Marathon
Always fun to watch and cheer for the marathon runners. You will come across all sorts of enthusiastic spectators - some dress up, some dance and sing, some come with creative posters.
Gotham Gymnastics
A great space for kids ... very open, well-padded throughout, and tons of different activities (including a big foam pit for jumping in) the little one likes
Bricolage
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants we have had in New York.
Park Slope
After a big lunch, we walked around Park Slope to help digest. This neighborhood is known for its rows and rows of charming brownstones.
Zhen Wei Fang
Bad experience ... told them no peanuts due to allergy yet still gave us hot pot sauce mixed in peanuts!
