The Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York was created by me and my husband. I’m from Manhattan -- he’s from Queens; we moved to Long Island when we had our first child! We discovered that we knew very little about kid-friendly living. Where to go?!? What to do?!? And there was no Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York on the web!

So the Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York was born!

The Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York is a complete information resource, covering topics that include:

  • The Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York provides information on kid-friendly restaurants. It was hard to find kid-friendly restaurants (besides our local diner!) that still provided an enjoyable experience for adults. Surprisingly, the internet wasn’t much help! Hopefully, our Ultimate Guide to Parenting in New York will help crack the kid-friendly restaurant mystery!
