Summary: Good and up-to-date
Comment: This is a decent guide for parents in NYC, though mostly of children who aren't napping in the middle of the day anymore. I liked the portion where they list little excursions you can do with your kids that don't take all day (i.e. would take maybe a few hours). Good representation of all 5 boroughs, something you don't see in a lot of these (most tend to be Manhattan-centric). There's definitely something in here for everyone. I discovered a number of things that look really interesting and different (e.g. you can go down a manhole in the middle of a Brooklyn NY street to see old train tunnels) - b/c they're right - who wants to keep taking kids to museums all the time? You get about an hour in, if you're lucky, before boredom arrives. The other thing I liked was that the guide is up-to-date - sometimes these guides aren't. This one even listed a Trader Joe's in Brooklyn that's not open yet, but coming soon.

There are a lot of things for kids to do in the big city, but their parents often don’t enjoy the crowds, expenses, and hassles that go with them. The Cool Parents Guide to All of New York goes beyond other guides by offering special highlights and suggestions to make your day-trips that much cooler—and only taking you to the places your family will actually like going. For this updated fourth edition, the Cool Parents have revisited old favorites, and found all the latest kid-friendly spots that parents will actually enjoy taking them to. Cool Parents also includes all the information that parents will want to know before they commit to an excursion—what time to go to beat the crowds, where to eat nearby, and where to find bathrooms all over the city.
