Field notes
The homepage presents 21 guides alongside a borough-wide weekend events list and links to a playground map. Its trip-planning material calls out stroller considerations, nearby restrooms, prices, and step-free subway access. The site identifies its authors as Dan and Julia, a British family with two children, and says they check material against venue pages. The weekly email is offered free, with an archive linked from the signup section.
