A Playspace Gem in the UWS

It's been a minute since we've gone up to the Upper West Side (is there any point now that Absolute Bagels is gone?!!?!) - I'm the first to admit that I'm happy being in my little downtown bubble.
This past weekend we went to the Play Street Museum in the Upper West Side for our Little Friend's birthday (shout out to amazing Mom, Melanie for such an adorable birthday party!). I wish we had this play space by us downtown, but I'll happily head uptown any day to go again.
Getting there
- A quick ride on the 2/3 uptown to 96th street and a short walk across 2 avenues. Admittedly, we took an uber because it was so humid and gross this weekend
The Play Street Museum
I'm super impressed with the little world that they have created. There are so many adorable things to play with, from the Garbage Truck to sort recycling, to the big train set in the middle of the space.
They even had a simulation between two 'houses' where you could jump on a zoom call while 'working from home'. Not sure how I feel about that, considering this is all my Little One sees me do at home every day anyway!
After playtime...
- โHomegoods: I'm a sucker for a homegoods and since we don't have one down by us, of course I'm going to stop by and wander around. I spent a good 10 minutes convincing my Little One that we did not need a new lamp...
- โSephora: Don't ask me why, but I decided to take my Little One on her first Sephora experience. I'm a little nervous just how excited she was to run around and dance to the music. I also got suckered in by one of the make-up artists who came over and drew a glitter heart on my Little One's hand with an Urban Decay glitter eyeshadow stick.... $26 later, it is now hidden in my apartment ready to come out when needed for bribery

Sure we have some places to shop around us, but it's nice to venture out to somewhere different and it's a bonus that it's a very quick express ride on the subway!
