With so many awesome programs and activities to explore, how can city kids be expected to choose just one? For youngsters who haven't quite figured out what they like to do most, general interest classes for kids are the way to go. Citywide YMCAs, kids' fitness centers in NYC and more institutions offer a wide range of pursuits for kids with interests that range from foreign languages to performing arts to cooking, ensuring that they never have to stick to one discipline.
