A Whirlwind Few Days in NYC
Our founder, Lucy, just returned from a whirlwind weekend trip to NYC! Here are some of her favourite family-friendly activities in the city during the magical holiday season.
Shopping on Madison Avenue
Kick off the day at EJ’s Diner on the Upper East Side with a classic New York breakfast. Think Challah French Toast, eggs, and steaming coffee—a delicious way to fuel up before diving into the city’s energy. Follow this with a walk across to the luxury stores on Madison Avenue where Ralph Lauren Kids is a must-visit. Their iconic Polo Bear knits are not just adorable but also a timeless investment. Once your little one has outgrown theirs, upload it to Littlest Luxuries so another family can enjoy it and you can earn money towards your next luxury purchases!
The Empire State Building
A trip to the top of the Empire State Building offers unparalleled views of the city. Just make sure to pre-book tickets to avoid long queues!
Eloise at The Plaza
If your child is a fan of Eloise at the Plaza, a stop at the hotel’s gift shop is a must. While non-guests can’t typically enter through the main entrance, Lucy’s experience was sprinkled with Christmas magic thanks to a kind doorman. They admired the stunning holiday decorations and the life-size Eloise painting in the hallway.
Holiday highlights
No NYC holiday trip is complete without a visit to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Pair this with a stop at the nearby Lego Store on 5th Avenue—a dream for any Lego fan, with exclusive NYC-themed sets to take home as souvenirs.
