Visiting New York had been on our bucket list for years — so when we finally made it happen in November 2024, we went all in. Ten days, one toddler, my aunt (who’s practically a local), her partner (who is a local) and enough skyline views to last a lifetime.
This section is where you’ll find everything we loved — from early morning jet lagged Brooklyn Bridge walks to festive lights in Dyker Heights, skating in Central Park, and the best hot chocolate we found along the way.
Written with UK families in mind, especially if you’re planning a December trip or trying to squeeze the most into just a few days. Expect honest tips and festive favourites.
