Book of the Week: Cool Parent's Guide to All of New York
10/9/07
- By Anna Fader
Some of my very favorite posts to write on this site are the excursions. I love planning a day out in the city with the kids in some great neighborhood to explore, figuring out where to eat and digging up some off the beaten path finds. Unfortunately they are also the most time-consuming posts to write and I don't get to do nearly as many as I'd like to. In fact, I have a very long list of excursions that I'd love to write up, but need to do the leg-work before I feel like I can.
Until I get around to my very long list of NYC kid outings, there's a great book that is very much in the spirit of this site. The Cool Parents' Guide to All of New York: Excursions and Activities in and Around Our City That Your Children Will Love and You Won't Think Are Too Bad Either is a guide book that is just as good for families who live here as it is for visitors. It takes you on fabulous day trips through the city and covers a lot of those spots that even been there done that New Yorkers either haven't been or forgot about.

The Cool Parents' Guide focuses on making outings with kids in NYC not only easy and doable, but enjoyable for parents as well as kids. The activities are interesting for the whole family and they avoid anything that is going to mean crowds, long lines or other sure-fire day-ruiners.I, personally, love that each excursion includes where to eat to get the real NYC flavor of the neighborhood. And, in addition to neighborhoods to explore there are outdoor and athletic destinations, cool museums, and lots of other fun stuff to do.
I'm going to be doing my best to keep the fun NYC kid excursions coming, but in the meantime I heartily recommend picking up a copy of The Cool Parents' Guide to All of New York.
Reminder: If you went away for the weekend, don't miss out on the Warm Biscuit Giveaway. You have until Midnight tonight to leave a comment on the post and one lucky commenter will win.
