Traveling with kids is ~always~ stress free, right? LOL well — ok maybe that’s not a true statement. BUT I have to say that our NYC trip with the girls was epic, and we can’t wait to come back together. It was even more family-friendly than I hoped — especially the restaurants!

As with any travel destination, how much you want to pack in each day, is really determined by how old your kids are. Mine are 3 and 6, so while we did a lot. I tried not to overdo activities and we had to fit in a nap (though we skipped some days tbh ?.) The ticket for us was to do one of the “museum” types of activities every day and kinda wing it the rest of the day.

Below are all the things we did and that our kids loved!

MUSEUMS:
Color Factory
Museum of Ice Cream
Sloomoo Institue
Camp X Trolls

OTHER FUN THINGS:
Times Square
Picnic in Central Park
FAO Schwartz Toy Store
American Girl Store + Cafe
So many parks. We loved Washington Square Playground, Sheep Meadow Playground and Bleeker Playground – but honesty can’t go wrong
Aladdin on Broadway

WHERE TO GO EAT (that is still V delicious and feels family friendly):
Arthur & Sons
Roey’s
Serendipity 3
Empire Diner
Buvette (patio)›
