Today is Monday July 2nd, 20018 and it’s been almost a decade since the parade of kids made their way through Inwood Manhattan in 2009. The parade marked the introduction of this website Manhattan Kids Guide as well as represented the coming together of the community and local businesses. The kids, in costumes, would stop along the way at storefronts  where they would be given treats by business owners.

Since 2009 a lot has happened with Manhattan Kids Guide. We’ve let you know on a regular basis fun things for kids of all ages to do in Upper Manhattan and beyond, as well as have faced the challenges of this community face on. And now, as of today, we have a blog as seen in the entry you are currently reading.

We are continuing to be committed to bringing you activities and articles of interest to the Inwood Manhattan and Washington Heights neighborhoods. Stay tuned for more.
