Boy, do I ever love New York City! And so do my children! In my early career I lived in NYC for a while, working for an investment bank on Wall Street (seems like another lifetime now). I love the bustle and energy of Manhattan and my children are a great age and stage to really appreciate it. For a few days of spring break, we did up the Big Apple like regular tourists, taking in some…  Broadway shows, taking a guided bus tour of Manhattan, visiting the World Trade Center site and the American Museum of Natural History, catching up with family and friends, and just strolling through the many varied neighborhoods of New York.

A definite highlight was doing a movie tour of the city — and seeing some of the sites where some of our favorite TV and movies were shot. Any Friends fans out there recognize this building?

Here we are in the midst of Times Square after seeing The Lion King.
