[quote=Anonymous]Ok, nyc poster above. Here are some ideas for you:

One day do “upper” manhattan - Central Park, AMNH (the Diana Ross playground is right across the street if your youngest isn’t up for the museum, and there are many other playgrounds nearby), there is a shake shack nearby too or walk down to Grays Papaya at 72/Bway for a classic dog. There are lots of ice cream places around and Levain or Magnolia for bakeries. After if you want to take the train down to Times Square (I mean I hate it but most tourists want to go there), then I’d either walk west to 9th or 10th Aves for dinner, lots of options there and better than the really touristy stuff in TS.

Day 2 lower manhattan- do the SI Ferry and playgrounds as mentioned. Great views and your kids won’t be into Ellis Island (although it is awesome) so not worth doing the Statue/Ellis ferry. Self-guided walking tour around the lower manhattan sites - stock exchange/Trinity Church/other early American sites if your kids are into that. See the 9/11 memorial (but the museum is too much for those ages), go to Eataly downtown for dinner.

Day 3 - Brooklyn/bk bridge - NY Transit museum, Dumbo for pizza & ice cream and great playgrounds, walk across the bridge to lower Manhattan if you’re up for that. [/quote]
