Dinner with a view, but make it unforgettable 🍸✨ Celebrating my daughter’s birthday at Duomo 51 in Midtown NYC, and every single detail was perfect! Tucked right in Midtown with views overlooking St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the atmosphere here is so warm and dreamy. We started with the Pink Pony Club and an Old Fashioned on the terrace, then dove into burrata and ravioli. The spicy rigatoni alla vodka and chicken parm were incredible, and the kids were obsessed with their spaghetti, meatballs, and fries 🍝 Finished the night with birthday gelato and cheesecake for the sweetest ending. The service and views truly made it top tier 🇮🇹 skyline views, amazing food, and family, nothing better! 📍 @duomo51nyc | Midtown Manhattan 💾 Save this for your next NYC birthday celebration or rooftop dinner date! . . . #midtownnyc #duomo51 #nycrooftop #nycdinner #nycitalian

It’s truly the cutest low-key fall spot. 🌾✨ . . . #roseorchards #northbranfordct #thingstodoct #connecticutlife #ctkids fall fun, fall festivities, orchard, ice cream, pumpkin patch, hay maze, Connecticut family fun

Add this to your CT family bucket list immediately! 🤯👇 If you are looking for a fun, unique way to destress before the back-to-school rush, you have to check out The Slime Lab Co. in Oxford @theslimelabco We went to check out their new space, and it is a full sensory dream come true 🤩 You can stretch, squeeze and make bubbles with various slime types. They have a “Slime Lagoon” where the kids can literally take their shoes off and walk right on top of a pool of slime! 👣 After exploring, they got to act like real scientists. The DIY slime bar lets them fully customize a jar to take home. They choose their own texture based on what they like, mix in vibrant colors (as subtle or as bright as they want!), choose a fun scent, and pick out their favorite charms and toppings. 🔮🎨It kept them happy, creative, and completely engaged for hours—and the best part is, you leave the mess behind at the lab! 🧼Save this post for your next CT family adventure! #connecticut #oxfordct #ctkids #ctfamily #ctmoms
