Amuse them

Teens and tweens can be tough to please. (We all went through that "roll your eyes at everything mom says" phase.) No fear. Here are some activities that you and your "too-cool-for school" kids can do for fun in the city. Take 'em to these concerts and laser shows and they'll think you're the hippest parent in town. You're welcome.
