Our September issue — which is out this week — is a favorite with Metro Parent staff because it includes the winners of our Readers’ Family Favorites contest. No one knows “family-friendly” better than our readers, and we’re thrilled once again to share all of your favorite places to eat, shop, work out, watch movies and just generally have tons of fun. Check it out to find out what gems your family has yet to discover.
