American Museum of Natural History
A full day with kids: the T. Rex exhibition, the Barosaurus in the rotunda, the biodiversity wall and the butterfly room she loved most.
Arcadia Earth
Immersive sustainability exhibit — a whole coral reef made of plastic bags; interactive and perfect for kids.
Cafe Habana
Order the tacos and the grilled Mexican street corn (elote) — she calls it perfect family time.
Central Park
First stop at sunset, then come back to bike it with the kids and see the reservoir with the San Remo towers behind.
Color Factory
Don't miss the macaron conveyor belt, the balloon room ('a room you can't leave'), the ball pit and the sequins room.
Flipper's
Japanese souffle pancakes made to order - the banana one with whipped cream; she called it 'heaven on earth'.
Levain Bakery
Original tiny branch on W 74th at Amsterdam - expect a long line, but the cookies are to die for and worth it.
Statue of Liberty
Board the Lady Liberty cruise downtown near Battery Park; dress warm, it's freezing and windy on the water.
The High Line
Walk it with the kids for Empire State views and stops at Zaha Hadid's 520 W 28th building and the LOVE sculpture.
The Rink at Rockefeller Center
Skate at night under the flags and Prometheus statue — she says she's addicted; great with kids even if they fall.
Top of the Rock Observation Deck
Start the day from the top — 'postcard' views of the Empire State and Central Park; kids loved the viewing binoculars.
Vessel
Go at sunset - 'so high and so pretty'; the glass incline elevator takes you back down at Hudson Yards.
Brooklyn Bridge
Walk the promenade at sunset with the kids — crowded, so take your time getting the photo with the Manhattan skyline.
SeaGlass Carousel
Fish-shaped carousel in Battery Park - 'the beautiful carousel', a magical ride for kids.
Times Square
Drive or walk through at night for the lit-up billboards.
The Battery
Where the Liberty ferries leave from, and home to the SeaGlass Carousel.
Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream
Chocolate-dipped cone, or go for a sundae - she singled out 'The Koppelman' (peanut butter ice cream with peanut cake).
Nintendo NY
Easy win with kids right at Rockefeller Center — she walked out with a Nintendo bag.
One World Trade Center
The Lower Manhattan skyline from the harbor boat is 'a very moving skyline'.
99 Cent Fresh Pizza
Two cheese slices plus a can of soda or water for $2.75; a whole 18" pie is $8. 'It's for the kids!'
Bar Pitti
Italian spot on Sixth Avenue that works with kids - her son happily ate a bowl of mussels.
Broadway Theater District
Walk it at night — the neon and the crowds are something a camera can't capture.
Chelsea Market
Even the public bathrooms are beautiful - vintage brass taps, trough sinks and white subway tile.
Crown Cafe
The cafe on Liberty Island - grab a hot drink to warm up on a windy day.
Empire State Building
Visible from the High Line walk.
FAO Schwarz
Pose with the toy soldier at the entrance — she calls it the 'tax' you pay the kids for letting mom take photos.
Times Square–42nd Street Subway Station
Look for Roy Lichtenstein's public mural inside the station - free art for everyone.
West 57th Street
Walk West 57th Street and just look up at the Billionaires' Row skyscrapers.
WestHouse Hotel New York
Rooms on West 55th St look out over Midtown toward Times Square - great morning view.
520 West 28th Street
Zaha Hadid's curvy building right alongside the High Line.
Carbone
Dinner out without the kids; a table here needs booking well ahead.
HOPE Sculpture by Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana's red HOPE sculpture on Seventh Avenue — a quick photo stop with the kids.
The Hilton Club - West 57th Street New York
Stay · hotel
The San Remo
Spot the twin towers across the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park.
Supermoon Bakehouse
Don't go near it - it only looks pretty, the taste is awful; she calls it a tourist trap.
