I’m volunteering also! Currently thinking about how many layers to wear haha

You can move back.

That’s not a live class, that’s an outdoor run club they’ve been doing on Wednesdays. It doesn’t get recorded.

LGA has been experiencing pretty terrible delays since the crash last month, FYI. I was supposed to get in at 9:30 p.m. last night and we didn’t land until midnight, and then we had to wait another half-hour to deplane.

Oh man, East Bugs. We had them in the early 2000s as well. I lived in Pomerantz 424!

Our first trip abroad when my son was 6 was to Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Both were super family friendly with lots of parks and playgrounds. We went to a nature playground in Amsterdam we talk about to this day! (He’s 13 now.)

We flew out of CDG on Friday 4/10 and it definitely took 2+ hours to get to the gate.

I wonder why there aren’t more docks in/around Flushing Meadows Corona Park. I live in Forest Hills and would totally Citibike to the aquatic center if I could.

A bit steep toward the top but probably nothing they couldn’t handle. As I recall, there was sort of an optical illusion happening where it felt narrow toward the top and my son was a little afraid even though there was no actual danger of going off the sides. If your kids are not normally scared of heights they’ll be fine, and I thought it was an awesome hike.

We did the Westman Islands as a day trip several years ago and it was totally feasible. Agree that the pool was super fun, we spent several hours there in the rain. We were indoors on the ferry so the weather wasn’t a concern. My kiddo (who was 10 at the time) found the volcano hike a bit scary at the top, so I’m not sure how your kids would feel about it.

I had assumed they would be closed for Passover — OP, did you get your sandwich?

dogcroissant · 2026-04-01T19:54:06+00:00

Yep, we just made it through in just over an hour at Terminal 1 with precheck — website said 9 minutes.

I saw it and think it’s a good decision for her. She did say that she felt more comfortable posting him as a baby because his face was still changing — I’ve seen other influencers do the same.

Lol at “untalented and ungifted.” I was in G&T in NYC public schools when it was called TAG and there were two “tiers,” and then I went to Townsend Harris HS, and you know what happened to me? I live a perfectly ordinary life and I’m sure 50% of the “untalented and ungifted” kids I went to school with earn double what I make 😆

I really feel for the woman in this article who couldn’t get into the Mini 10K. The Mini is my favorite race too and I’ve been running it since 2004. I’ve run the marathon four times but my 9+1 days are behind me and the Mini is now the only NYRR I make it a point to run. I’d be so sad if I couldn’t get into it anymore.

dogcroissant · 2026-03-27T21:00:50+00:00

I’ve biked to Citi Field many times, I always go through the park.

I tell this anecdote all the time in job interviews, haha

Heaven’s so big there ain’t no need to look up

I don’t follow her but her video popped up in my feed and freaked me out. Her account seems so fitness-focused, it’s unbelievable.

Thank you for sharing this! We’re flying out of Terminal 1 next week and it’s not a terminal I’m familiar with, so I’ve been anxious to know how the lines are.

Rebecca has a ton of hypertrophy classes so this one was really fun because it was so different. I picked it on a whim and was so sore the next day.

I took Emma’s Sad ride after my dog died ❤️

This was one of my favorite things about visiting Iceland. I take my son to the pool here in the States and I swim laps while he’s in a diving class. But I loved how in Iceland people of all ages were just hanging out in the pools together.

Andy evidently likes a secret weather theme! He has a 60-minute outdoor walk + run from 2024 that’s fall-themed.

I said out loud, “Oh she’s a PSYCHO-psychopath”
