NYC Trip - Posts and Questions

Last summer we surprised our kids with a trip to NYC.  It is one of my favorite parenting memories EVER and was an absolute dream come true.  I know lots of y'all have used the info from my posts for info and tips and I've had a big influx of questions lately as I think lots of people are making plans for summer so I thought I'd park all the posts in one spot for easy reference.  

Seriously - it was SUCH A GREAT TRIP and our kids were at great ages.  It was exhausting in the best possible way and we're all itching to go back.  If you have any questions leave them here and I'll get back to you in the comments!  HAPPY Tuesday, friends!!!

 Click  HERE for our Day 1 - which included how we surprised the kids, car rental and our first afternoon/evening at Ellen's Stardust Diner, some shopping and the Empire State Building.

Click HERE for our first full day which included Central Park Zoo, Central Park, a harbor tour, a walk through Hell's Kitchen and our first time in Times Square.  I also included all the info on where we stayed in this post!

You can find Part 3 HERE which was the day we went to the Top of the Rock, had some dollar pizza, headed to the Museum of Natural History, had an impromptu stop at FAO Schwarz and saw Aladdin.

Day Four was pretty epic and you can find it all HERE.  We did a carriage ride through Central Park, walked the Highline and had lunch at Chelsea Market, visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and saw The Lion King!

You can find the last post HERE and that includes the details from our last morning in NYC and a pretty thorough Q&A of reader questions.

Eeeek! This post makes me want to go back SO MUCH and gets me super excited to explore a new spot with my crew this summer.  I hope you found this helpful in your planning!
