Josh and I had SO much fun in NYC this past weekend with Ezra. He is 16 months old and SO incredibly busy. I was nervous for how this trip was going to go but it went amazing! I feel like everything we did was pretty toddler-friendly and you really can’t beat Central Park. Dropping everything we did below!
Itinerary
Stay: Lè Meridien Central Park
You cannot beat the location of this hotel! It’s got a great boutique vibe and a rooftop bar that’s super fun. It’s pretty calm and low traffic plus it’s next to a supermarket which is VERY convenient with a baby/toddler who still drinks milk.
