... Read morePlaying the FAO Schwarz big piano is more than just a whimsical activity—it's an iconic cultural experience cherished by music lovers and dreamers alike. This giant floor piano, made famous by movies like "Big," allows players to step on oversized keys, producing notes with their feet, making it a unique blend of performance and play. Many who visit FAO Schwarz aim to fulfill this bucket list dream, often evoking nostalgia and pure joy. The appeal lies not only in the novelty but also in the creative challenge of coordinating foot movements to play melodies like "Jingle Bells." It’s common to delight in the fun despite occasional playful mistakes, which only add to the authentic experience. Whether you're a pianist with decades of practice or a casual visitor, the big piano captivates all ages. It encourages musical exploration while creating joyful memories in a historic setting, as the FAO Schwarz brand has been enchanting generations since 1862. If you ever have the chance to visit, embrace the moment and don’t worry about hitting every note perfectly. The true magic is in fulfilling a dream and sharing music in such a unique, memorable way. Plus, it’s a fantastic photo opportunity and a story to tell for years to come.

Your kid doesn’t need privacy. They need parenting
They call it “gentle parenting” now. But what I see… is moms scared to upset their kids. Afraid to say no. Afraid to check the phone. Afraid to be the bad guy. I check the tablet. I open the apps. I watch the videos. I watch the games. I will check his future phone. I will check the DMs.
