Live like a local. This was a combo of work and family adventure for me. Being a native New Yorker transplanted to Michigan I had face-to-face business to do in NYC and since it was summer vacation for my son, I took the opportunity to take him with me and show him my favorite parts of the city.
I had never taken my son before like this. We easily visited family in Queens, Westchester and upstate while getting to live like locals.
It was just me and my 10 year old son so I was concerned about safety (I’ve lived in suburbia for over a decade now and was worried I’d lost my edge). Plus I wanted the ease of getting to the historic places I wanted him to experience.
This was a winner!
Great location! Easy walking distance to everything we wanted and just a quick cab or subway ride from all of the tourist attractions of NYC.
