Stage Door Tour: Radio City Music Hall
After our fun and exciting All Access Tour at Madison Square Garden, my aunt and I got on a double decker bus and made our way through New York City traffic and East to the gorgeous Radio City Music Hall. Like Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall has been a favorite of mine for fun family entertainment. Our last visit there was to [...]
All Access Tour: Madison Square Garden
This past week I had the opportunity to play tour guide to my husband's aunt who was visiting us from Wisconsin. I love playing tour guide to those friends and family who come visit the city. And during great weather, when New York is at its best, there is so much to see, so much more to do. But this past week the weather was horrid. Snow, rain, [...]
Sony Wonder Technology Lab, NYC
On a NYC day, very similar to the chilly, cloudy one we are experiencing today, the kids and I set out for some fun. One of my things about fun in the city, is to pin point the places where that fun can be found inexpensively or free. One such place is the Sony Wonder Technology Lab in Sony Plaza on 56th St and Madison Ave. This 4-story museum [...]
Go Back In Time at Discovery Times Square Exposition
The family and I woke up early this morning to take part in a tour at the Discovery Times Square Exposition (DTSX) located on 44th St., between 7th and 8th avenues. This location is the former home to The New York Times and still holds on to many signs of it having been there. I found this to be something that I immediately loved about the [...]
El Museo del Barrio…Reopens!
I woke up this morning with a little list of things to do today. But the one thing on my list, the one thing circled in a big red circle on my calendar was the reopening of El Museo del Barrio. Back in the day, when I was a young women in college and single...and childless, I spent many quiet afternoons walking through the Museo. I was madly in [...]
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum New York
Sunday in NYC. After a night hanging out with some friends till late, one would think that the last thing I would want to do would be to go out today. However, Sunday's in NYC are possibly my favorite day in the weekend to do stuff outside, weather permitting. It's New York City's "lazy day". People are out, brunching, going to festivals, [...]
Fleet Week on The Intrepid, Pier 84/Sullivan St. Bakery, Hell’s Kitchen, NY
Memorial Day weekend had begun. Just like that. It caught NYCity Mama off guard. It wasn't too long ago she had been talking about making plans to go away with the family, holding off scheduling the trip "till later" when all of a sudden the weekend was upon her and no plans had been made. So, here they were, stuck in NYC, on a holiday [...]
Staten Island Children’s Museum, Staten Island, NY
Continued from Staten Island Ferry Ride, NY... NYCity Mama and the boys waited for the bus to the Staten Island Children's Museum. The last time Mama had tried to do this was ages ago. She, her 11 year old, (then only 5) and her husband, stood on a similar platform, not sure what bus to ride that would take them to what they had read was [...]
Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn, NY/Building Brainstorm Exhibit
President's Day in New York City. To some this was a day when most parents were off from work to care for their children who were beginning a week long mid-Winter break from school. Aside from her husband being home from work, NYCity Mama saw this as another day, another opportunity to seek out adventures for her family to enjoy together. And [...]
Children’s Museum of Manhattan, NY
Living in New York City is a wonderful experience. Being able to raise kids here, or at least being able to make the city and all it has to offer accesible to one's children is also a wonderful experience. And though NYCity Mama appreciates this, she also is well aware of how expensive it can be take part in all these activities with the kids [...]
