ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam's blog


Half way through Sarah Bracey White’s memoir, Primary Lessons, I had a strange realization. Sarah’s mother was much like mine. A teacher, independent, the main family provider, eager for her children to succeed, proud to a fault, uncompromising in her values, not cold, but certainly not warm and fuzzy, and silently demanding in her expectations of her children...

New York's Top 100 Events 2012

Great article for best events 2012 in NYC


New York's Top 100 Events 2012

Here are some honorable mentioned?


Parades, Festivals & Holiday Events

Village Halloween Parade featured 53 bands, hundreds of giant puppets, and nearly two million costumed marchers for this 39th annual event. October 31.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade took off for the 85th time in 2011, with more than 3.5 million spectators, along with another 50 million television viewers. November 22.

New Year’s Eve in Times Square brings one million revelers to Times Square each year, plus live broadcasts on ABC and MTV. December 31.

9th Annual Diva Moms Halloween Spooktacular @ Dylans Candy Bar!



I have been a member of DIVAMOMS site for quite some time now. DIVAMOMS is my favorite mommy site because they always surprise with the variety of events, their network base seems to be never ending. Their events cover all subjects; beauty, family, finances, charity, education, bookclub, etc.

This is going to be my first time attending the 9th Annual Diva Moms Halloween Spooktacular @ Dylans Candy Bar!  

I cannot wait to attend!!! My kids are going to be super duper excited when they find out where we are going this year to celebrate Halloween. 

Now I really need to hurry up and pick up some costumes. I was thinking of making the Heirloom-Mushroom-Costume (parents.com) one for my daughter, which i think it soooo cute, but she is not very excited about the mushroom idea.

If you are going to be in NYC on Oct 31st, this will be a great event to attend, but hurry, they only have 15 tickets left.
