4.0 out of 5 stars The Ultra Cool Parents Guide to NYC, October 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Ultra Cool Parents Guide to All of New York: Excursions and Activities In and Around Our City That Your Children Will Love and You Won't Think Are Too Bad Either (Paperback)

I just returned from a week+ trip to NYC with my 9 year old and I thought that this book was very helpful. The authors describe a number of day trips to take with your child, including dining suggestions. It gives you lots of things to do in a small area and in NYC that is VERY important. I liked the notes on how to get to places on the subway and the small maps that pointed out the location of each thing they suggested for that "trip". As an out-of-towner what I found most helpful were the tips on kid friendly restaurants. There are a millions places to eat in NYC and it was nice to go to places that had been kid tested and enjoyed by adults.
