Good for when you know the kind of day you want but not yet the exact park or neighborhood. It organizes the guide by borough, age, practical need, weather, and outing style.
Start with the broadest coverage that matches your day: borough, toddler stage, weather, practical need, or neighborhood cluster. Then move into the more specific pages once the shape of the outing feels right.
