How amazing and alive is New York City? A couple of nights ago, I went into Time Square with my seven year old to enjoy the lights before the new year hits.
After a fun dinner at Chevy’s in Time Square, my son and I strolled around Times Square to enjoy the sites (we left the rest of the family at home). I love that Times Square is so vibrant. And bustling at any time — even at 3 am! No matter how warm or cold it is outside, Times Square is always vibrating with excitement.
We live in Queens, a 45 minute subway ride from Manhattan. Both my husband and I were raised outside of the city (he grew up in Port Jervis and I grew up on Long Island), but we both visited the Big Apple frequently. Now, as parents, we try to get into Manhattan at least once or twice a month.
We love to take our kids to museums, restaurants, shows, and cultural landmarks. We’ve created some wonderful memories and unique experiences for our children to experience.

My mom and sister and I went to NYC for my birthday once and it was absolutely unforgettable.
Looks like you and your son had a great time even though it was freezing this week! I need to take my daughter to the Times Square Toys R Us one of these days!
