TAKE YOUR LICKS We always stop at Ice & Vice, which is one of the greatest ice cream spots in New York City, and the kids freak out. Milk Money is our favorite flavor — it’s like a vanilla with caramel salt. If we’re having friends over, we’ll go to Malt and Mold and get some really unique beers and cheeses and little cool popcorns that you’ve never seen anywhere else.

OPEN HOUSE The kids of our neighbors down the hall here in the sublet are the same age as ours. On Fridays after school, our door is open and their door is open, and it’s a free-for-all during the weekend. Our two will go over there and play, and then they’ll swap. It’s mayhem. Then their cat will run in here, and we’ve got to catch him.
