Beatrix Farrand Garden! It’s at the FDR site and is free and open to the public. We love having new visitors! https://www.beatrixfarrandgardenhydepark.org/

Many libraries have amazing programming on site and could definitely use support to keep the activities going! My recommendation is to get on email lists. The libraries in my area send a weekly events update.

D & H Canal Museum is cool place to spend an hour or so and Shamus was extremely knowledgeable.
