The author also offers eclectic finds not featured in other guidebooks, such as the best spot to grab a hot dog at Yankee Stadium, where to find the best macaroni and cheese, or where to stay if your child would like a teddy bear tuck-in! Includes pet-friendly hotels, the best playgrounds, shopping tours and insider tips, lots of travel planning details, plus day trips to the surrounding 'burbs and beaches! New edition features more maps, the newest family-friendly restaurants and hotels, more budget tips, and an expanded hard-to-please teen activities and itinerary.QUOTE: "New York City with Kids is a treat from the word go. Wilson has road-tested the Big Apple sites with her son, Alex and offers an encyclopedic--and easy to read--guide to family-friendly hotels ... On a budget? Wilson lists museums with a "pay-as-you-wish" policy, so you can enjoy all of the bling without the ka-ching. She recommends the United Nations gift shop for terrific souvenirs and the New York Gotham Baseball Club for re-enactments of games as they were played in 1864. Filled with insider tips, perfect picks for the pint-sized and great ideas galore, New York City with Kids is a home run!" - Debbi Kickham, Community Newspaper Group (Boston)
