Visiting New York City for 1 day - Advice?

He had a great time yelling at passing cars and slapping the plexiglass window.

That sounds like fun!

I am with you on this FONPR but, considering neither of us are a 1year old, if we tried to pull off these shenanigans, it would be the old lock-up for us. Might be worth it though...

Our 1 day ended up being 3 days.  Since we were at a hotel in Stamford, CT we found it convenient to take the train in each morning.  MOMA (thanks to senorcorazon) was a hit especially the Century of the Child exhibit.  We bought the little man a toy taxi (which he broke within 4 hours) from FAO Schwartz and watched the horses in Central Park.  We also walked from Central Park down to the Village each day and then back to Grand Central stopping intermittently to check out restaurants and architecture.  The high line is awesome and we'll definitely go back each time we visit.  Thanks again for all your responses.  We had a great time, you're all awesome.

Glad to hear it!  I just had to move to LA on short notice, so I'm glad I got to squeeze as much NYC stuff as possible in with my 2-year-old.  Still never made it to the top of the Empire State Building (despite living in NY/NJ for all of my 41 years), but I managed to do almost everything else.

Hilarious.  I've been to NYC 30-some times for business and only managed to do one thing while I was there - go to the top of the Empire State Building.

I hope this portends good news career-wise, Grote.

I, too, am spending a good bit of time in the City of Angels these days, for career-neutral reasons.

It does, Buffcoat, thanks.  I now write for a show where people smoke a lot and make ads.  It keeps me pretty busy, but let me know when you're coming out next!

That's super cool. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for Newbridgians next season.

Congratulations, Grote.  That's a high-profile gig!

I definitely will let you know.  It's high time I "took lunch" with a Hollyweird Weird-O-Wood bigwig.
