Don’t get us wrong: sure, being a parent in New York can have its, uh, hassles. But for every annoyance there are a dozen ways that raising a child in the city can be glorious fun. Packed playgrounds, neighborhood communities, the best museums and theater for kids — and fellow parents who will clue you in on how to make it work here with little ones. Click through to see just a few of the reasons why we here at Red Tricycle are thankful to be parenting in the Big Apple.

Autumn in New York

I'm grateful for the great outdoors!  No, really!  Fall in New York is so beautiful, and the city is so walkable, that I get to enjoy the season in a really special way.  Every morning when I walk my daughter to preschool, down brownstone-lined streets, ogling pumpkins and kicking through sidewalk-carpets of yellow leaves, I'm grateful.
