Krystyn's Travel Tips for New York City

What are the best places to eat and drink in New York City?

Oscar Wilde is a funky, fantastic location. There's all sorts of cocktails, mocktails, and seasonal paraphernalia hanging from the ceiling. It's part bar, part restaurant and somehow good for adults and kids alike. If you're looking for something decidedly different, this is your place!

What are the best things to do in New York City?

Across from The Little Island is Chelsea Market. There's a series of global food stands, each spectacular in its own right, that are sure to fill you up. Also if you're looking for a souvenir distinctly New York that supports emerging artists and small businesses, head to Artists and Fleas, which is also in the building for a wide selection of kiosks full of on trend jewelry, art and clothing.

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to New York City?

There's no bad age to travel with kids in New York City! There are plenty of age appropriate activities and restaurants throughout the city to keep them all entertained. It's been fun to watch my child grow up confident in navigating the city - since he was 3 he's had his own MetroCard for visits and I've taught him how to hail a taxi. Giving him these simple tools where he feels he owns part of the trip has made him dive into each new adventure in the city without feeling overwhelmed.
