This is the outdoors made accessible and affordable for everyone!  Especially those who live in the city and don't own a car, it can be hard to get to the great oudoors and countryside that surrounds them.  Sourced Adventures provides round-trip transportation and offers a plethora of trips every season, all at a low cost. Any adventurer has the opportunity to escape the city for the day, weekend, or week.  Whenever my kids are older, I will one thousand percent use Sourced Adventures to go white water rafting, kayaking, or river tubing (I'd have no idea how to go about this otherwise).  There is also vineyard hopping and brewery tours.  The trip also covers lunch and gets you safely back to the city the same evening, all for under $125 per person.  That's a pretty awesome deal for an amazing day trip with or without children! Great for meeting people who share your interest as well for those looking to date!

Long Island City (Hunters Point and Gantry State Plaza)

Long Island City, NY

Optimum Seasons:  Summer

Gallery

It has been awe inducing watching Long Island City's transformation over the past decade.  What was once a sketchy area filled with old wearhouses on the Queens side of the Queensborough Bridge is now a mini skyline of its own.  "Build and they will come" as the saying goes.  Now all these new restaurants and supermarkets are popping up throughout the area to meet the demand of the growing population.  And everything is brand new and clean.  If you ask me, the views of Manhattan's skyline from Long Island City are far more impressive than that of Williamsburg's and Greenpoint's in Brooklyn.  But definitely not as hip as the aforementioned neighborhoods.  

This is one of my favorite spots in all of New York, either during the day or evening. My first experience was with my husband and friends on a warm summer night.  We decided to go to a restaurant I came upon chance after I googled "restaurants on the East River".  I also wanted Italian.  I wanted good food, good decor, and good views.  Maiella met all these needs.  The food was solid, some dishes even great (the stuffed eggplant and Branzino were among my favorite).  The service was incomparable.  The decor was impressive, the crowd was upscale, and the back garden was lovely with great views of the landmarked Pepsi Cola sign and the Empire State and Chrysler building right across the river. Unfortunately, there was no outdoor seating but dining inside was just as rewarding with floor to ceiling windows all around the restaurant.  

After dinner, we headed out to Gantry Plaza State Park (right next door) and walked along the brand new boardwalk.  There was a playground here for children, beautiful landscaping, breathtaking views of Midtown, lounge chairs, everything one needs for pure happiness.  I highly suggest experiencing Long Island City during sundown and into the night!  If not for dinner, just for drinks will do!

Walking down from Gantry State Park for about half a mile on the boardwalk you will reach Hunters Point South. Both locations have MTA ferry services (a metro card you can purchase on site will give you and children access). On a couple of occasions, I have used the East River Ferry (a 40 minute spectacular ride to either DUMBO or Wall Street/South Street Seaport) with breathtaking views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Hunters Point South has one of the most spectacular playgrounds in all the five boroughs as well as an amazing sandbox. You will find a splash pad here as well so bring bathing suits for your children along with a scooter and bike to ride along the length of the boardwalk! There are also restrooms and a restaurant called Coffeed which serves pricey American food (menu is included in the gallery). All along the boardwalk you will find Long Island City’s market with food trucks (ice cream trucks, fruit/veggie drinks trucks, crepe trucks, and much more). You will also find restaurants and bars as well as exquisite high rise residential buildings.

I have only been here once in my life.  As an elementary school girl.  And on a field trip.  I had a mustache and pimples and was bored to pieces.  It turned me off to the entire museum experience for life.   That's why you see I so seldom post about indoor museums. They just don't fascinate me in any way.  Even though this is one of the most magnificent in the world, I'd rather just walk by and marvel at the architecture from the outside.  And then, go to Central Park across the street and enjoy life.  

But my friend's snap one summer weekend had me intrigued.  She found a gourmet kosher pizza restaurant called Saba's Pizza on Amsterdam Avenue and 79th Street.  She alleges it was one of her best kosher pizza experiences. There are loads of other great kosher restaurants nearby for those who keep strict kashrut.  

Then they decided to go here, and visited the planetarium as well.  They visited the second floor which has a deck with tables and umbrellas and a whole section where you can tan.  They also have sprinklers for children here. And if that's not enough, just head over to Central Park with your children. There are amazing playgrounds all around and the Shakespeare Garden in close by.  

Also, if you live close, this is the place to be on Halloween day (followed by Upper West Side trick or treating!  Click the link for more info!

 

B, D, N, Q train over the Manhattan Bridge

"Whichever direction you travel, you get an exquisite view of the Brooklyn Bridge, suspended between the water and the sky.  And if you're on the B or Q train running from KeKalb Avenue into Manhattan, look out for the recent restored Masstransiscope, the beloved animated mural by Bill Brand that comes alive as the trains pass through the tunnel."

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Check the calendar of events to see when it is this year.

"Yes, it's early in the morning, and yes, it's usually pretty cold (it might even snow), but watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is something that everyone should do at least once, preferable with (or as) a kid.  Even if you've watched in on TV every year, the enormous balloons, the elaborate floats, and the choreography of the marching bands are truly exciting to see in person, and it feels a lot more like a parade without the commentary or commercial breaks.  Go early (ie, well before 9am, when the parade starts) and grab a spot on the street.  Our favorite viewing spots are on Central Park West, where the streets are a bit wider (the parade starts at 77th Street).  Wherever you go, the crowd is pretty deep, but if you've got little kids, they can sit underneath the police barriers and have a front-row view of the parade going by.  You can't bring folding chairs, but hot chocolate is a must." - The Best Things to Do In New York

Metropolitan Opera House & Lincoln Center Plaza

"Take a stroll here on a performance night.  Show up in the early evening and from anywhere in the complex you'll be greeted with a vision of the city's classical music lovers bustling in to whichever ballet, opera, or orchestral performances are taking place that evening.  The crowd is usually a mix of old and young, refined and eccentric, from tuxedoed couples drinking champagne on the balconies to bohemian-looking students smoking wistfully by the fountains.  Take a drink from one of the Plaza's cafes up to the lawn on the roof of the extraordinary Hypar Pavilion --the beautiful experiment in innovative public space introduced to Lincoln Center by the architects Diller Scofidio & Renfro in 2010__and look out for the musicians themselves arriving below, making their way into the theaters with their instruments in tow.

Also, Midsummer Night Swing is a three-week-long outdoor dance party that takes place in July.  There's a different band every night, Tuesday through Saturday.  Following this is Lincoln Center Out of Doors, a series of free concerts and performances.  Both are located at Lincoln Center Plaza  For more information, call 212-875-5000 or visit www.lincolncenter.org" - The BestThings to Do in New York

 

City Island

"Many people live in New York for years and never visit City Island, but it's worth the small voyage--especially if you like fish.  With all sorts of boats for hire, fishing trips on the nearby waters, and fresh seafood available at cars along the shore, City Island is a surprisingly lively seaside resort, and a pretty sight from the deck of a sailboat in the sound.  Visit www.cityisland.com for more information."  -- The Best Things to Do in New York

 

Walk (or bike) across the Brooklyn Bridge

Best to do this during sunset.  When you make it to (or back to) the Brooklyn side check out the neighborhood of DUMBO.  When you make it to (or back to) the Manhattan side, check out Battery Park, Oculus, South Street Seaport, or if you have enough energy, take the Staten Island Ferry or visit Hudson River Park Pier 25. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, it's best to only walk halfway and turn around so you get to experience the greatness on either side of the East River.  Pedestrian entrance by City Hall in Manhattan and the intersection of Tillary Street and Adam's Street in Brooklyn.  Tips: Bring a sweater as it can get pretty chilly up there, I've been told.

Can't wait to do this with the children when they are older and I don't have to push a stroller!  

 

Tram to Roosevelt Island

"It is possible (even likely) to have lived in New York for years without ever having considered visiting Roosevelt Island.  But this quirky strip of land between Manhattan and Queens havs an interesting (and bizarre) history and remnants of some incredible, obscure landmarks, including:  Blackwell House, the vacant home of the island's former owners, th eBlackwell family; ruins of an infamous lunatic asylum; and a decommissioned lighthouse (whose original purpose was not to direct ships but to light up the aforementioned lunatic asylum and prevent escapes).  In the last couple of years, after unrelenting pressure from teh Roosevelt Island Conservancy, the legendary neo-Gothic abandoned smallpox hospital at the southern tip of the island has been landmarked, and the nine acres of land around it turned into South Point Park, making the island even more pleasurable (if slightly less mysterious) to explore.  You can walk from tip to tip in a couple hours, and there's a great guide to the island's landmarks online at www.riwalk.com.  If you get tired of walking, the bus that runs on the island is free.  To get there you can take the tram, drive, or take the F train.  If you ride the tram, you will catch a tantalizing glimpse up and down the East River and over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens while you glide through the air.  For more information, call 212-832-4543, or visit www.ny.com/transportation/ri_tramway.html."

Free Ferry to the Red Hook Waterfront

"One Hundred and fifty years ago, before the construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway overwhelmed the neighborhood, Red Hook was one of the busiest ports in the world.  Today, the quaint waterfront is less quiet than it used to be, as the neighborhood grows into the last reguse of the Brooklyn hipster, but it still boasts wonderful views across the East River to Governors Island and to the Atlantic.  Even with the arrival of the much-contested Ikea store--and the residence in 2009 of the cast of Real World Brooklyn--walking along the docks and back streets at the port of Red Hook is like stepping back in time.  And as compensation for invading the area, Ikea offers free water taxis from downtown Manhattan to Red Hook and back on weekends. Even if you're not out for affordable Scandinavian housewares, it's worth the ride for the views alone.  CONOVER STREET AND BEAR STREET, RED HOOK IN BROOOKLYN"  - The Best Things to Do in New York

Jewish Children's Museum

Gallery

I was beyond impressed with this museum.  It is probably my favorite in all of New York for the children (it is just a great testament to Judaism and so kid-friendly and interactive).  And as an orthodox Jew who is glatt kosher, this is the best place to go and easily find restaurants to dine with the kids afterwards (as long as you have your admission bracelets, you can walk back into the museum after you have had a lunch break).  There is a Mendy's and a kosher bakery on the first floor of the building, a boutique kosher supermarket a block a way, and Basil (for great kosher italian food)  and Boeuf and Bun (my personal favorite hamburger join in NYC) just steps away.  

Parking happened to be easy the day we went.  I chose this particular Sunday in February because they had a Hamantash preparing workshop.  Definitely visit this museum when there are specific events related to the Jewish holidays.  Makes the experience extra special.

There is miniature golf on the 5th floor on an enclosed deck (there was slight drizzle the day we went and a bit too cold but we were able to play anyway).  I loved the life-like kosher supermarket with children sized carts and cashiers, the recreation of the Western Wall with paper and pencil available to write your prayers, the 7 days of creation exhibit, the Noah's ark play area and every other single inch!  

Kill a few birds with one stone:  Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park Zoo and the must see neighborhood of Park Slope are just a few blocks away.  If you go in the Spring, Summer or Fall, it's worth hitting up both places!  Trust me!

Open House New York

"One weekend a year, nearly 200 private buildings and structures around the five boroughs open their doors to the public.  Most offer free guided tours highlighting each site's history or notable features.  The roster includes a variety of monuments, historic buildings, parks, and even private homes (it also includes several places listed in this chapster, such as High Bridge Tower, the Highline, and Governors Island), many of which are seldom or never open at any other time of the year.  Our suggestion: browse the schedule online around the time of the festival, then try to check out as many as you can.  This is held early in October every year.  For more information, call 212-991-6470, or visit www.ohny.org." The Best Things to Do in New York.  

Brooklyn House Tours

"Brooklyn residents never tire of regaling people with the residential beauty of their borough, and they've got good reason to be so house-proud.  Brooklyn has many enclaves with grand, notable, and interesting houses and brownsones, and the natural curiosity about what lies inside these private treasures has evolved into a rigorous enterprise of house tours.  In the spring and fall, many neighborhood organizations (Brooklyn is nothing if not neighborhood-oriented) offer inside-and-outside tours of some of the area's prominent private homes and gardens.  The Brooklyn Heights Association Landmark House and Garden Tour (in early May) is among the most popular, which takes wide-eyed visitors through different homes in the historic district, showing off the neighborhood's celebrated and diverse nineteenth-and early-twentieth-century architecture.  Other areas that can be explored on tours are Clinton Hill, with its glorious turn-of-the-century mansions; Cobble Hill and Prospect Heights, otherwise known as "Brownstone Brooklyn," with their exquisite private gardens; and Flatbush, which has a stunning array of Victorian-era houses.  Even those familiar with Brooklyn may be shocked by the grandeur of the houses in certain areas, and it's interesting to see how the current owners coexist within their exalted habitats.  Of course, teh voyeuristic pleasure of nosing around a stranger's house goes without saying."  -The Best Things to Do in New York

CitySights Bus Tour Downtown Manhattan

Downtown and Midtown, NY

Optimum Seasons:  Spring, Summer, Fall

Gallery

Keep your eyes out on groupon here!  One of my friends had snapped her day on a double decker bus in the city and inspired me to go.  She told me she had found a deal on groupon for $66 for four people.  "Downtown Manhattan" here means everything south of Central Park down the middle of Manhattan. The day we went happened to be the Gay Pride Parade, and we had to take a detour around some of the landmark stops on 5th Avenue.  But any detour in Manhattan is worth a million dollars.  Not one block isn't worth seeing!  This detour happened to take us through the meatpacking district and down the West Side Highway....and it ended up perfect for us.  We wanted to go to Hudson River Park anyway and the bus driver was nice enough to make a stop for us!  

For those with toddler or babies, strollers fit on the first floor of the bus.  As long as you can fold them.  Also, for some reason the map shows that they pass by Central Park, but the map is dated from a year ago.  They changed the route since then.  My biggest regret is that we sat on the bottom of the bus and didn't get a good view of downtown Manhattan as the windows are screened.   

You have to print your groupon and get on the bus at 7th Avenue and 49th street.  The voucher shows you where.  As parking is impossible in that area, it's best to take mass transit.  We took the LIRR and walked over.  But on way back home, you can get off at any stop. The tour ends by 6pm as the night time tour picks up.  

The bus stops by Soho, Little Italy, Canal Street by Chinatown, Battery Park, Time Square, and 34th Street to name a few.  It passes by the United Nations and East Village on its loop back.  

Tips:  Bring a spritzer and fan on a hot day.  And lots of water.  And hats.  And wear sunblock!  And only sit on the top of the bus.  If there is no room, wait 20 to 30 minutes for the next bus to show up.  You can't see anything on the bottom as the windows are screened for some reason.  And in my case, our bus had no air conditioning!

Nothing is more charming than this place!  Located at Pier 25 on the West Side Highway, this park offers breathtaking views of downtown Manhattan and Jersey City across the Hudson.  For children, sprinklers, rock climbing, a playground, mini golf and sand boxes make it heaven on earth.  There is also beach volleyball, and a soccer field here (I don't know if any random person can use or you have to be a member).  They have concession stands as well. Try going later in the afternoon to catch the sunset (but then it might be too cold for sprinklers if you have young children!)

After you're done here, just walk the streets of downtown Manhattan.  There are some historic landmark buildings here adjacent to modern skyscrapers. Walk down Chambers street to the east side (remember, Manhattan is very narrow down here, it'll be a 20 minute walk) and you'll be by the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian path and City Hall.  You'll pass Oculus on the way there too.  

Also, there are constant events at the different piers here.  I went when there was free painting for children.  Click on this link to see all the events lined up for the summer.  Free fishing is a must!  And so are Salsa Tuesdays on Pier 45.

This is a charming beach located in a charming town on the North Shore of Long Island!  A hidden gem if you will that has a cost for non-residents.  It is only open on weekends until the beach officially open the last week of June. I'm not certain if there is a different rate on weekdays but I'm sure they'll be less strict then and might not even charge.  Or try to go on a weekday before it officially opens to the public and you'll get in free of charge as I did (but the concession stand won't be open on weekdays until then).   The beach is on the Long Island Sound and has more shells than you'd expect, so have a pair of sandals that are good for going in the water with!  Advisory: Call in advance as weather changes can cause potential pollution and rain can potentially cause an increase in bacteria.  The beach may be closed in this event. 

Kill a few birds with one stone:  This entire peninsula is filled with beautiful homes!  Sea Cliff itself has very old Victorian style homes while other towns such as Mill Neck, Oyster Bay, Centre Island, Brookville, Locust Valley and others offer more grand mansions with lots of land.  There is so much else to do around here such as other nearby beaches and an amusement park.  You can also visit Sea Cliff Avenue for cute shops just a couple blocks away from Sea Cliff Beach.

I went here on a 70 degree and overcast day.  So figure it's a bit chillier here because it's across the street from Stehli Beach.  It also started drizzling an hour after we got here.  The great things about this amusement park are that it's 1)  very small and quaint; 2)  very very charming; 3)  different than other amusement parks; 4) across from the beach so on a hot summer day you can kill two birds with one stone; 5) you can pay per ride and per person so if you only want to go on the bumper boats, as we did, you don't have to pay a huge fee; and 5)  has an adorable bumper boat ride (you can shoot water at each other).  If you go after 3 you can do the beach and then go to the park at night if it is still open.  But check to see what time it's open till.  I'm sure the lights at night are extra cute.  Make sure you do this on a hot summer day.  It was not so bad going on a more mild day because the park was less crowded and we got to stay on the bumper cars as long as we wanted and got our money's worth.  

I understand another great time to go here is starting September 22nd and ending October 31st when it turns into Bayville Scream Park. Check the website for more information on how many days the Haunted House (voted the scariest on Long Island) is open. This is a great place to go with older kids!  

Always check www.groupon.com for deals before you go.

I went to Toronto for a week in the summer of 2015.  Last I was there was twenty years ago.  I decided to go back with my children and husband to kill a few birds with one stone:  1) visit my sister and her children and husband who live there; and 2) visit Niagara Falls over the 4th of July weekend.  Last time I went, I had a mustache, braces, a 24/7 doody bun, and a 5 person family crammed in a maroon Nissan Maxima with no cell phone, no ipad, and no cd player.  We drove from NYC to Niagara Falls for a couple days, and then to Toronto.  The drive was at least 8 hours and on the way we stopped at some waterfalls in upstate New York....all before google maps.  I can't imagine how much more charming this drive would be with an SUV and communication devices.  But I was so traumatized that I decided to take a flight to Toronto this time and drive to Niagara falls which is one and a half hours away.  The flight costs a lot of money for such a short distance because of international tax, so I highly recommend driving and googling about things to do on the drive to Toronto from NYC.  It would be a great experience with the children!

Anyway, we stayed at my sister's beautiful home for a week.  She was basically our Toronto tour guide.  She told us the musts: go to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada (in downtown Toronto), take a ferry from downtown to Centre Island (a magical island with beautiful views of the Toronto skyline, an amusement park, beautiful gardens, concession stands, and a beach), experience a Toronto Blue Jays game, take a drive through Toronto's affluent neighborhoods of Bridle Path and Forest Hills, and enjoy designer shopping on Bloor Street and Yorkville.   Toronto has come a long way in the 20 years since I've been there.  The skyline is ever evolving, and the city is so clean and beautiful.  And Canadians are all so nice!  I highly recommend this trip with the family.  Except mass transit in Toronto is horrific and you should get ready for massive traffic.  Best to get a hotel in downtown Toronto!

My second leg of the vacation was a weekend getaway to Niagara Falls which was only a one and a half hour drive from Toronto.  We stayed in the Hilton which was a couple of blocks from the Horseshoe Falls.  Make sure you request a falls view room on a higher floor. It gives you the most magnificent view of the two falls and the entire neighborhood.  And you get to watch the 4th of July fireworks on the American side while your children sleep soundly in bed. The Hilton has a great indoor pool as well.  The Niagara Falls neighborhood is very small and very easy to navigate.  Just get a map from the front desk of your hotel.  This trip is a rite of passage for all children who live in NYC! Definitely go once as a family!

On our drive back to my sister's home in Toronto, we stopped by Niagara on the Lake, which is Toronto's Hamptons!  It was such a beautiful and charming town with great places to dine outdoors.  Ask one of the locals which way to the lake and they'll point you in the right direction.  It's worth the three block walk!  You won't be disappointed!  There are also lots of wineries between Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake.  No shortage of things to do!  My pictures in the gallery cover it all!  

Check out the videos below of our view of the fireworks from the Hilton room in Niagara Falls.  And the Hilton penthouse restaurant (where we had our daily breakfast).  Also, you'll get an idea of how spectacular the Ripley's Aquarium is!
