If you happen to be walking on 19th Street and 10th Avenue right under the High Line and see a random, suburban-looking house that doesn’t seem to belong in New York City, you might want to walk over and investigate. Yayoi Kusama’s “Give Me Love” installation is hiding behind those inconspicuous walls at the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea. It’s super kid-friendly and we guarantee you’re going to want to… Keep Reading
I remember when I was a brand new mom in the city and wondered if it was okay to just pop in for dinner anywhere with Max in tow. Now, I wouldn’t be “popping in” for dinner at Buddahkan anyways, so it wasn’t like I was heading to places I knew were off-limits, but there is just an unspoken rule in the city as to where you “should” take kids. … Keep Reading
We all have our up and downs, and this year hasn’t been any exception. It seems the older we get in life, the more serious we have to take things, and yet, the sadder we become because we’re missing out on the simple things in life that make us happy. The one thing that makes me happy, you ask? Well, this is it. It took me about 32 years to… Keep Reading
One of the best things about living in NYC is that I can wake up in the morning and think – what haven’t we seen and what should we go explore today? Yes, I do have the best job in the world where I actually have to go and do this (twist my arm), but some days, spontaneous adventure is always the best. Before Max, I was known to do… Keep Reading
We have been members of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) since Maximo was born. Until I became a mom, I didn’t realize (or have much interest) in knowing NYC has five – count them – FIVE zoos to visit (Bronx Zoo, the New York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo & Queens Zoo), Our Favorite Zoos The Bronx Zoo was my ultimate favorite because I would drive up to… Keep Reading
MSG might be known for sports, but as a mom, I’ve become more familiar with the theater. (Did you even know they have one?) Throughout the year, they host many traveling family shows (over the holidays we saw the Grinch, and in February, Sesame Street Live) – so you should really bookmark them to watch what is coming up next. Just recently they hosted Feld’s Entertainment Disney Live: Three Classic Fairy… Keep Reading
City living can either be amazing or awful. Some days it’s both. But one thing that will ruin your day faster than a diaper blowout with no baby wipes in your bag is not preparing in advance for getting around the city with your little one in tow. Public transportation is here to help you navigate the city easily, though, not always effortlessly—especially when you find yourself carrying a stroller,… Keep Reading
Ok so I have a tiny secret. Yes I always talk about the great food that’s available in NYC – trust me, there is. But, you always have to have a reliable chain restaurant as well that you know is both delicious and offers healthy options for traveling, being that Maximo and I are always off on some adventure. My go-to has always been Panera, (as you’ve seen me… Keep Reading
Oh Dunkin’, just when we think we can’t love you anymore – you go and make our day. Since Dunkin knows we are constantly on the move here in New York City – mom or non-mom, they’ve decided to help us out with more java. Enjoy an exclusive first look at Dunkin’ Donuts’ New Refill Travel Mug program With the travel mug, Dunkin lovers can purchase an extra-large Hot or medium Iced… Keep Reading
One of the best Broadway shows for kids just opened this past weekend (and is running on Saturdays and Sundays through March 8)! Can Do Duck: The Musical—a new show for kids that has one of the most uplifting and positive messages we’ve seen in awhile! (Don’t say we didn’t warn you to bring some tissues.) Here’s why you’ll want to grab a ticket to this musical playing at the… Keep Reading
