3. You need to get the kids out of the house. Since the weather is supposed to be so nice, it's a great day to head to Prospect Park's Lefferts House Events, which include not only a chance to play in the new Second Floor Tour, but also today kids can participate in Race Around the Farmyard (2:30-3:30 p.m.) which include potato sack races and other old-fashioned games. Lefferts Historic House at Prospect Park (Use entrance at Empire Boulevard and Flatbush and Ocean Avenues), Free. 12-4 p.m. See our  for more options.

4. You need to know if your train is running ... It is! There are no planned service changes affecting Prospect Heights stations all weekend, according to the MTA
