Olmsted

New Yorkers know Frederick Law Olmsted* through the creation of our famously beautiful public parks, like Central Park in Manhattan, and Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

Like many early Americans, his history is far more interesting than simply being the father of landscape architecture and design. Did you know it wasn't even his profession by training?

Check out this cool PBS special about him and his incredible life.

Watch Olmsted and America's Urban Parks on PBS. See more from THIRTEEN Series.

This is how Penguins roll

By now you should know the excellence that is The Penguins of Madagascar. Not only is it a great show for kids, but like the best work made for children, adults can enjoy it on many levels, too. How awesome is it that they live in Central Park Zoo?

So, let's dive right in to my favorite episode "Crown Fools" (Season 1, Episode 11) which makes references to: Ninjas, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, martial arts, cage fighting, The Matrix, the madcap histrionics of William Shatner as Captain Kirk from Star Trek, and the nostalgic audio joy of the The Bionic Man sound effect during the Skipper's fight-winning corkscrew move. If you want to see the cage match, skip to 6:23, then 7:55. Happy Fun Day!
