I am thrilled to be writing about all the great things going on in New York City for kids (and parents!) right now.  As a child who grew up here in the ’70s I can attest to the fact that New York has come a long long way and is as livable and kid-friendly as ever.

While my memories of being young in the city were filled with good times, I also live with flashbacks of being scalded on hot metal slides and living in fear of getting poked with a hypodermic needle in the sandbox. True…my twin girls still have to contend with the grit of city living but they also have amazing indoor play spaces on cold rainy days, classes to take for every interest imaginable and kid-friendly places to eat.

Every day something new crops up and I love exploring the off-the-beaten-path things to do, eat and explore. I’m excited to share what I have found with you!
