To give you a flavor of our neighborhood: We live on the Upper West Side, a very child-friendly neighborhood. Our apartment is 1 and a half block from Central Park and 2 and a half blocks from Riverside Park, 5 blocks from the American Museum of Natural History (which Parker loves to visit and to which we have a family pass) and directly across the Central Park on Fifth Avenue is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are cross-town, uptown and downtown buses all within a block from our apartment and we are one and a half blocks away from two different subway lines. We don't need you to drive Parker around the city -- everything will be reachable either by walking or by public transportation which is the quickest and easiest way to get around the city. On the weekends, we are often busy with various activities for Parker or have various get together with family and friends in and around the city.
