Product Description
If children were born with an instruction manual, parents would sigh in relief. Raising children is an awesome task, especially in New York City with its virtually limitless goods, services and activities. This guide to the special pleasures and challenges of raising children in Manhattan covers the city as a community resource and provides the information that every parent needs.

The book educates parents by guiding them through the school application process, choosing doctors and caregivers, handling birthday parties, networking with other parents, dealing with emergencies, scheduling activities and play date etiquette. Also included are detailed listings of over 275 retail establishments specializing in children's goods and over 450 activities for children (classes, cultural activities, and "boredom busters"). Businesses and services are not rated or reviewed, but are presented in an objective, easy to use, format.

From the Back Cover
If you can raise them here, you can raise them anywhere. This comprehensive guide makes navigating the city with kids more manageable and enjoyable for everyone, including the grownups. So, whether you're raising kids in Manhattan or just want to sample all Manhattan has to offer, The Grownup's Guide can help you: travel the city with kids in tow; keep those kids busy, find professionals you feel confident with; be safe at home and around town; find that special someone to help care for your kids; choose the school that's right for your child; make birthday memories; locate special resources for challenging situations; make sense of parenting today; discover cultural activities in child-sized portions; establish a sense of community; and shop, shop, shop til you drop. Simply a must for Manhattan-loving families.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT KIDS GUIDE TO NY, September 22, 1999
By A Customer
As a native New Yorker, I even learned stuff from this complete, well written guide. This guide has everything from museums, to zoos, to stores, to "boredom busters!" Everything you need to know to keep kids busy in the city! A must have for all New Yorkers with kids! even if you are just visiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Informative Directories, June 24, 2005
As a NYC educational consultant, I am often asked by clients to recommend enrichment activities and classes for children. I am impressed by this book's comprehensive lists. Reading them, parents can plan stimulating weekends and afternoons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks to your books' advice I know the best places to shop!, September 9, 1999
By A Customer
I live in N.Y. and my sister lives in Philly. She has 3 children and wants to move to N.Y. I told her it's great here, but still she had to do some "homework." She bought this book and really liked it, so she told me to read it. I thought I know everything about N.Y. But I guess I didn't. Now I know the best places to SHOP!! Thanks to your book!!

Very, very little value in this book. Literally half could apply to any city because it's a bunch of lame general parenting tips. Read more
