@mrsjyw: That's not a lot of time, so I think you'll have to focus a bit! Do you prefer sightseeing, fine dining, fun experiences... or a little bit of each maybe?

We just went to the Tribeca Children's Museum of the Arts and it was SO fun! It's a great morning or afternoon activity if the weather doesn't cooperate or A needs somewhere to explore.

I would try to do Smorgasburg in Brooklyn Bridge Park on Sunday around 11am. Brooklyn Bridge Park in general is awesome for kids--Smorgasburg is located closer to pier 1 now, which has a great playground for kids. There's also a Luke's Lobster and Shake Shack near there.

@mrsjyw: if we are here that weekend, you bet!

@mrsjyw: Would be fun to meet up! If you guys have time for it...

Children's Museum of the Arts is probably the closest to where you guys will be:

This is a pretty good calendar of fun events:

I went on two of these food tours, and they were great! Since it's chilly, maybe the Chelsea Market one would be better than an outdoors tour?

@mrsjyw: I took my LO to brunch a couple of times at This place--it's historical which is cool, in the FIDI, and kid friendly because it's big and they have high chairs. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced too...plus the décor has all been redone and each room is really cool. I kind of want to host a private party there at some point, because they have so many cool rooms. http://www.opentable.com/fraunces-tavern-the-porterhouse-brewing-co

@Anagram: I loooooooove the Imagination Playground. Love it.

I would recommend a shake shack burger. The least busy one is at grand central, which can be a neat place for kids.
