NYC weekend

A weekend in NYC might seem ambitious with a babe in arms but we decided to throw caution to the wind. Whilst over the other side of the pond we stuck to UK time- yes bizarre but by far the easiest thing to do given the short stay. We found a nifty Airbnb in Brooklyn which had a sunny balcony so after settling O to sleep for the "night" we could enjoy the view and relax. what about dinner I hear you ask... well usually we'd cook but it was New York and every restaurant doesn't take out so forget cooking you can have restaurant quality food at home! Of course babe woke at 2am for breaky. So we got up ate, played for a bit then put him back down for a nap ( which we joined him for- bliss) then all got up at 5am to set off into the city- of course New York is a 24 hour city so you need not worry about how you will fill those early hours or how you will fill your bellies. The best thing we did was the Staten Island Ferry which starts really early for commuters. Seeing New York from the wateras the sun rises is more special than I can describe and (if you were in any doubt) proves that traveling with a baby can bring a whole new perspective on things.
