Good Eats

The bottom less pit that is the average child’s stomache (deeper still, if it’s a boy) will tax even the fattest wallet. Eat as much as you can at home and never leave without a cooler bag with water and fruit. Figure on at least one outing to a restaurant, but make it count. Avoid the tourist traps where even a burger may be a huge investment. Brother Jimmys is a BBQ joint where one child eats free for every adult.


Just the Ticket

Get the best of New York with CityPass, a pocket size booklet with tickets to five premier attractions. The booklet also has a map, hours of operation, transportation directions, best times to visit, tips from the experts and money-saving coupons, all making it a smart, budget-friendly to enjoy the Big Apple. The attractions in the booklet are Empire State Building Observatory: American Museum of Natural History & Rose Center; Guggenheim Museum: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA); The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cloisters; Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises 
OR
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, all for $US$79 for adults and US$59 for kids. Figure this as a saving of %%% if you were to buy the tickets individually, and you’ll know this is your smartest mover yet. Think about the next time you’re watching TV and the Empire State Building comes on screen. You’ll get a kick out of the kids yelling, “We went there.”
