    "Playgrounds at the elementary schools are available to the public after school lets out, Manjare's Bistro (West Rock Ave) is a great place to take kids for breakfast or lunch. Trick-or-treating is so great in the neighborhood that the neighborhood is a bit of a victim of it's own success, that people make it a destination neighborhood for Halloween. "
