The Heckscher playground has water! Be sure to bring extra clothes or water shoes! I had no idea how many NYC playgrounds there were and almost all of them have water! We went during the summer so the kids loved this. Penn station has a donut place! My son loved it when we went and we could catch our train after. We would go walk to grocery shops and no matter where we were there was always a park nearby. It was so nice honestly because we could walk and just stop and play then carry on.
How adorable is your kid! Loved your video thanks :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for this! We’re visiting soon with then 1 yo and considering moving there. Would love to see more about how the everyday life is with kiddos in NYC :)
Will do - thanks for watching! Despite what some say, it’s a great city for kids. Enjoy your visit and good luck with your decisions!
What did you end up doing?
Thank you for this video! Having been to New York City a few times as an adult I’m family with it but now considering a visit as a father with young kids and wasn’t quite sure what spots would be best as quiet art museums and theatre performances probably won’t work out for us. 😂
My pleasure - I hope it helps. Happy travels and thanks for watching!
How do you recommend getting around with a two toddlers and a stroller? What type of transportation is best? Taxi? Subway?
Two toddlers and a stroller? Taxi or uber. Subway would be too stressful and not all have elevators (ones that do are not always clean). No taxi or uber driver is going to care if you don’t have car seats, but you have to be comfortable with that risk. We’ve never had an issue and while it’s more expensive, it’s by far the most efficient and stress free way to navigate the city with kids.
Awesome video!! We have a 3 year old and all that you show here is perfect!! Is mid-November still decent weather for all the parks?
Yes, you should be fine with a good coat - enjoy! One of my favorite times in the city as we prepare for all the holidays.
@@johnpolonis Appreciate it!
