When the boys were here, they really wanted to go to the top of one of the skyscrapers in the city. We made our way to the "top of the world" and went to the top of One World Trade Center, also dubbed The Freedom Tower. The experience and the views did not disappoint!
The elevator ride to the top is just 47 seconds long and you have 360ยบ views of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and the Bronx! It was so cool to identify so many sites in the area and show them to the boys. It wasn't super busy at the top and you really can take your time walking around taking it all in. It was a great "tourist in your own city" activity with family! Thursday, May 9, 2024

Little Island
Over Passover, we went down to Little Island. I hadn't been since 2022, right after it opened and Avi, my mom, Judah, and the boys had never been! The human-made island, floating in the Hudson River, rests on 123 concrete "tulips" and is a series of green spaces, snaking path, lookout points, plus an amphitheater and other open spaces filled with interactive bits.
It was fun to explore the island again! Even though it was packed, we were able to wind out way around the park taking in from all the various vantage points. The greenery has grown in so well since it opened and it was the perfect spring day to enjoy the park! We are hoping to get back this summer to enjoy some of the shows in the amphitheater, too!
