[quote=Anonymous]Statue of Liberty is not worth stopping, much better to view it from the ferry and continue on to Ellis Island.

I’m not sure I would bother with AMNH if you go to the Smithsonian. My kids enjoy it but it’s not spectacularly different. The Met is wonderful and there are lots of special areas to see. My kids love the period rooms in the American wing and the Gubbio studiolo which is fascinating (and entire room made out of marquetry, or inlaid wood). They also enjoy the Ancient playground nearby and they also love the playground closer to Colombus circle.

The Tenement museum is fantastic as are their lower east side walking tours.

The Edge is the “new” cool view spot in Hudson yards. I’m not sure I would go just for that but it’s very popular and a shorter wait than the other places (at least on week days).

My tweens adore Hamilton, Six, Hadestown, Wicked and the lion king. You know your kids best to know which they will enjoy but they’re all great shows. My kids have seen a lot of shows and these are their favorites currently playing.

Brooklyn Bridge park is great for a chill day and views of Manhattan. You can get good pizza and ice cream in DUMBO or go to TimeOut market there where there are lots of options. Essex market in LES is also fun.

Rent bikes (or citi bikes) and bikes the loop around Central Park. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

When are you going? There are lots of free performances happening in the summer which are fun! [/quote]
