New York City

New York City is a bucket list destination for many. For us, it is the place we have called home for the past 9 years. All three of our boys were born in Manhattan. We like to tell family and friends from our hometowns in the Midwest, however, that we have been tourists in the greatest city in the world for this entire time.

It is impossible to digest everything New York City has to offer families in one visit, whether it be three days, a week, or 9 years, but we’ve done our best to highlight what we have learned in our time here. We’ve curated countless itineraries and tips that we’ve sent to family and friends to inform the content linked from this page.

Before diving into our links, a few mind boggling facts:

Over 8 Million people call New York City home. This means that roughly 1 in every 38 people in the United States of America live here.
The oldest building in New York City, called Wyckoff Farm, dates back to 1642.
New Yorkers speak approximately 800 different languages, with over 37% of New Yorkers born in another country. Queens, in fact, is the most diverse urban area in the world.
Lombardi’s Pizza, featured in our Kid Friendly Restaurants post, is the oldest pizzeria in the United States.
The Empire State Building has its own zip code: 10118
If the state of Texas were as densely populated as NYC, it would fit the entire human race.

Whether you’re just intrigued by New York City or actively planning a trip, we hope you find our content useful. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Rockaway is the best baby and toddler friendly beach in New York City

Mike Baron

New York City in the summertime is hot. Between the humidity and the heat, it can get downright oppressive. Mingled into most plans for a week in NYC is a trip to Coney Island, which is totally worth it, but the beach there can be a bit suffocating with the crowd. An alternative to Coney Island is Rockaway in Queens. Rockaway is a local favorite, and in my opinion the best baby and toddler friendly beach in NYC. Brittany and I bring our family to Rockaway at least two or three times every summer.
