Footbridge Lobster Rolls: Voted Number One in the State of Maine
This sick lobster roll is the best I've ever had. It was about $14, and comes from Footbridge Lobster Rolls of Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Me.
It was 100 percent meat, claw (as you can see easily) and tail, on a traditional New England style hot dog bun. Footbridge offers it with butter, mayo, either on the side, or plain. I had mine straight up, and didn't miss the oil at all.
My server said the meat was particularly fresh, but given the location and the fact that this shack is owned and operated by a real Maine lobsterman, I doubt the meat at Footbridge is ever not fresh.
At the end of the day, this is the best lobster roll ever. Must have had close to a pound of meat. Maybe the server was indulging me, but I went back and had a second roll and got the same fill, and another for my wife also the same.
Barnacle Billy's up the street is well worth a visit, but don't get your lobster rolls there. A stroll across the parking lot and over to Footbridge should be a daily must for every day you're lucky enough to visit Ogunquit.
NFL Extra Points: Ad for dads
So you can get an NFL Extra Points card and collect points on everyday purchases, and then cash those points in for NFL experiences? I guess the offer appeals to this dad, who's clearly indulging his daughter since there's something in it for him, too.

Community of Dads
Walking Lila in park this a m. Another dad with baby in stroller across lawn calls over, she's sleeping, right?
I look at lila and yell back no she's wide awake.
Other dad smirks and says no, your wife!

Secret to watching kids and catching a break
Everybody wants to be watched while they are doing their thing. So when my kid is about to jump off the big slide all it takes is eye contact and a big wow. As long as I watch what she's doing she's so happy. I can sit on the side, go on my smartphone and relax in general. Not that this qualifies as amazing father hood. But sometimes a guy needs a break, right?
My other little one loves when I pull out the camera and start shooting. She's not even a year old And she mugs for the camera like a star. Again everyone loves to be you watched whatever they're doing.

Reader Review: A Day Trip To A Natural Pool- Highlands
Reader Review: A Day Trip To A Natural Pool- Highlands
This seems worth a visit: a swimming hole fashioned into a pool, but fed by a real stream. Driving time is 1.5 hours from Park Slope. This is why you go to New Jersey.
WORKSHOPS: KIDS
WORKSHOPS: KIDS
Socrates sculpture park is ramping up free kids' workshops for the rest of the summer.
Lots to do, and kids will love the hands on.
Here's a list, generally Saturdays around noon to 3:
August 20: Odysseus at Hell Gate: An East River Puppetscape with Processional Arts Workshop
See Featured Workshop section.
August 27: Old to the New: The T-shirt Project with Darren Goins
After collecting t-shirts from friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers we'll set out to reuse these once loved t-shirts from the inside out. Using a variety of materials and printmaking processes, scribble your own insignias, glyphs, and phrases onto the insides and wear them outside. Whoopie!
September 3: DIY Bookmaking with Linda Ganjian
Transform an ordinary sheet of paper into a small book by using paper, feathers, glitter, and anything else your heart desires.
September 10: Wooden Beast with Free Style Arts Association
Build a giant wooden creature out of hundreds of long thin pieces of wood. Utilizing tape, staples and screws, participants will actually build a real wooden sculpture in the form of a dynamic, bristling, imaginary beast.
September 17: Sprouted Sculptures with Harriet Salmon
Come make sculpture that grows! Using paper maché filled with real seeds, you can build sculptures that sprout into living creations. By pressing the seed-mush into recycled plastic packaging and other discarded forms, children will build objects that you can put out in the garden or in a flower pot and watch them grow into a creature. Add glitter, paint and other decorations to make the transition even weirder!
September 24: The Wonderful World of Terrariums with Danielle Frazier & Trenton Duerkson
Create your own miniature world of plant life! Bring along your favorite clear container, be it a fish bowl, plastic container, jug, jar, etc. Tiny crystals, rocks, figurines, or marbles also make great additions to any terrarium. We will supply the moss, seeds, some stones, soil and other accents to make these tiny landscapes as mystical as possible. With regular watering, you will be able to enjoy a living miniature habitat on your windowsill, all year long.
