NYC feels like an entirely different city when you visit with kids than when you visit with adults (don't even get me started on trying to "do NYC" with teens). One thing that both the kiddies and adults will enjoy while in the big apple is the NYC Transit Museum. The entrance is $5 per person ($3 for children and senior citizens). Expect to spend about 60-90 minutes in the old Brooklyn Heights subway station exploring the history of the NYC public transportation systems. There are pictures, exhibits for kids to play with, and old trains and busses to go in and explore.
My husband stopped in a few weeks ago and had a nice time. This is something I will definitely do again.

Brooklyn Heights is a great place to visit - especially when your daughter and son-in-law live there and you have a place to stay. One of my favorite things about Brooklyn Heights is all of the great food and food shops. I love to go to Sahadi's and shop before I go back to Florida.
