Guide offers sights for kids in New York City
A bite-size map-guide to the Big Apple.
Sightseeing in New York City carries its share of dangers: namely, your own bored children. "City Walks With Kids: New York," by Elissa Stein, can be a lifesaver for parents who want to stroll the city, keep the children engaged and make the most of the moment.
It's priced at $14.95 and comes in a box with a deck of 50 cards, each one offering a sight suitable for kids. On one side, an illustrated map. On the other, tips on what to see and how to get there.
