We started in Battery Park because I wanted to see the Statue of Liberty. I am supposed to climb it for my 101 in 1001 list, but that isn’t happening with kids. I also realized I have no desire to climb 354 narrow stairs. So, I’m giving myself partial credit.
The most important thing, I think, when going to New York City is where to stay. It becomes even more important when you bring kids. First, you need a great location. We picked Marriott’s Renaissance New York Hotel 57. Located at 57th and Park Ave, it’s only a few blocks from the south entrance to Central Park, just under 1 mile to Times Square and has tons of shopping right around it. Its a swanky boutique hotel, but totally kid friendly. The staff was amazing and the price was reasonable for the City. There was a mini fridge in our room that came in handy when we brought our John’s pizza back. (Go there. Seriously, yum.)
After, of course, the little one got a little peek at where we were going to be while he slept.
Cooper is already begging to go again. I am sure we will be planning many more NYC trips with our kiddos in the future!
LOVE this! Our timeshare just got a place in NYC and I really want to take McK! I think we'd add a Broadway show and the American Girl store.
Looks like y'all had a BLAST!
Omg New York looks so awesome from the pictures I've never been there. but I've always wanted to go and I know where I'd go first I'd Dylan's candy store yummmmm….
so glad you had such a great time..
We recently relocated to NYC (Hubs is a Newyorker) and even thought I was so against it, I'm finding the city to have so many things for the kids thank I imagine and that even a train ride is so much fun for them.
Going to New York City is on my bucket list! Looks like you had a lot of fun. Glad to see some kid friendly places in the Big City!
Love seeing a trip to NYC with Kiddos in tow, makes me think this isn't a far off idea for a trip some day! Very cool! & Fun! 🙂
You have an adorable little family. It looks like you guys had a blast! It's been far too long since I've been in NYC.
YAY! I always love reading posts of when people come to visit my city!!! There really is no greater place to be/visit 🙂
First, holy moly, I'm sure you hear this a lot, but Callan is so your twin it's not even funny.
Second, do you mean to tell me that Coop took that pic of you and hubs? Budding photographer! He did a great job! Can't wait til I can get in on having Ben take our pictures.
I love going into the city! I live about an hour train ride away now so we go explore whenever we can. Love all your pictures looks like u had a blast.

That candy shop looks amazing! Love the picture of you two!
Looks like so much fun. We love NYC but have not gone since having my 2nd baby. Did you not take any public transpo? And seriously a night on the rooftop bar, Did you have a sitter with you or did the hotel offer that as a service?
