New York City

New York rewards families who come prepared to move at the city's pace, and neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, home to the American Museum of Natural History and tree-lined residential blocks, offer a pace that actually works with kids. Central Park alone fills several days if you let it, from the zoo to Bethesda Terrace to paddling on the lake. For pizza, Lombardi's in Brooklyn Heights has been at this since 1905, with a coal-fired oven and thin Neapolitan-style crust that tastes nothing like what you get anywhere else. Download the MYmta app before you arrive because real-time subway navigation saves significant time and stress. FamiVentura's New York City guide covers 15 picks per category across activities, food, off-the-beaten-path finds, and excursions, alongside 2-day and 5-day itineraries, a neighbourhood guide, and a survival guide.
