Where to Take Your Children When Visiting New York City
Visiting the Big Apple with Your Family New York City is a fantastic place to bring children. We have Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, and even the Museum of Ice Cream. In addition, America's history is embedded in every district. For example, George Washington lived in the presidential mansion on Cherry Street during New York's two-year reign as the country's capital. Our 21st president lived on Lexington Avenue between 28th and 29th streets, where the famous Kalustyan's food store has been since 1944.

California, Here I Was
Here we are, at the beginning of another autumn. Kids are back in school, leaves are still hanging on, the temperature is falling, and everyone I know is still trying to get every last drop of summer before it runs out (half the people are still in shorts in my neighbourhood). I am wondering, quite seriously, how I am going to pay my rent at the end of the month – a lot of money will have to be moved around and begged for – and considering how this could coincide with my birthday (a terrible coincidence). And with all of this in mind, I have let the mind wander.

Passing Along the Tradition
In 1990, when I was 11 years old, my mom took me on a 10 day trip to the United Kingdom. It was life-changing. I was able to see all of the things I had read about or seen in movies, in real life; right there in front of me. The world opened up to me in ways that I’m still realizing as an adult, when I compare my perception of life on earth to others I know, who haven’t had the privilege to travel. Recently, I was being interviewed for a podcast and I brought the trip up as an example of what propelled me into a career in arts and culture. The trip was so pivotal to my future growth that I swore when my first child reached 11, I would do the same. I would take them on a 10 day trip to the UK. This summer was that year; the year I would be able to share that experience with my first born.
