Went for the Jay-Z exhibit! It’s perfectly curated and you’ll find yourself learning more about him than you ever dreamt. There was a very long line for entry, so I recommend visites during the week. There are two floors of exhibit, but it’s basically a 30-40 minutes view. It’s completely free and they do give you a guidebook of exhibit. There are bathroom but because of the massive amounts of people, they aren’t the cleanest. There were about 10 food trucks, and 5 street vendors.

I agree with other posters, small but does the trick. There weren’t a lot of families and there were plenty of places for parents to sit in the shade. Nice view of the Vessel near by with space for kids to run in circles. Be aware, there are lots of pigeons… no poop though!!!

We had four cookies, but we shared the brownie cookie on the way home… it’s gone! Super elegant latte/coffee and pastry shop. The service is speedy and friendly! They’re a lot of locals that live near by that the staff knew by name. That was very impressive! The nicest part of my entire experience was the environment! We’re all looking for a great vibe, the music wasn’t super loud, the espresso machines weren’t fighting my voice, and most importantly, there was sunlight. Just enough sun to enjoy it, but not enough to make you hot! I stayed for roughly 20 minutes and didn’t smell like coffee when I left. I love the mommy and me area in the back of the store. The kids can play with any of the toys and others can do work and not hear kids in the back. They have really good scented candles as well as bath bombs. Very clean and cool place. 10 out of 10, recommend!

PARENTS: Good place to take kids for the price. It’s a little tight, but the bathrooms are clean and they do offer outside seating.

The pizza, minestrone (veggie soup), and julienned vegetables. The total with tax, came to $30. Not bad! The pizza was shareable but it’s a little bigger than a personal pan pizza. Perfect for anyone who orders with a friend and you split everything. There’s enough but the other person should still order something else if you’re looking to be full from the meal. The minestrone soup wasn’t good. It lacked flavor and the zucchini chunks were under seasoned and too mushy. The cooked veggies had much more flavor!

Surprisingly quick, decent coffee, yummy sandwiches. You can definitely sit inside, or outside on the two benches. It’s a neighborhood, “You’ve Got Mail” feel. It’s a local spot but it’s clean and fast. Definitely will be back.
