The Best Things
to Do in NYC
This Spring

Brooklyn's Premier Curiosity Emporium

Step inside Brooklyn Heights' most enchanting curiosity shop. Art of Play houses a beautifully curated collection of designer playing cards, handcrafted puzzles, mechanical toys, and magical home goods. But the real secret? Behind the shop lies an intimate performance space where the close-up magic series '69 Atlantic' takes place — one of the city's most exclusive and mesmerizing experiences.

Brooklyn's Coolest Indoor Playground for Kids

Space Club is the indoor sensory playground that Brooklyn parents have been waiting for. Designed for kids ages 0–13, the DUMBO location features a stunning all-white aesthetic with climbing structures, slides, ball pits, and sensory play areas that look like they belong in a design museum. The space is particularly welcoming for sensory-sensitive children, and the parent-friendly café means adults can actually relax while the kids burn off energy. At $39 for two hours of play, it's one of the best rainy-day activities in the borough.

"Great for toddlers and exciting for big kids — a comfortable, parent-friendly layout."

World-Class Photography in a Stunning Setting

Fotografiska New York brought the Swedish photography museum's vision to a landmark Flatiron building — six floors of rotating exhibitions from the world's most compelling photographers, plus a destination restaurant and cocktail bar with panoramic city views. Though the original location closed in 2024, Fotografiska is actively seeking a new NYC home and remains one of the most talked-about cultural institutions in the city. Check their site for pop-up exhibitions and events this spring.
