5 Tips:

1. Having a family & friends eco-friendly picnic on our stoop (no backyards in this part of NYC)
2. Organizing a block party with our neighbors.. :)
3. BBQ on our fire escape (kids stay inside) :)
4. Movie & Chocolate Night w/ friends & family (smores, a chocolate spread, & wine for the adults/soda+water for the kiddies)
5. Central Park Nature walk
