Book Description
If children were born with an instruction manual, parents would sigh in relief. Raising children is an awesome task, especially in New York City with its virtually limitless goods, services and activities. This guide to the special pleasures and challenges of raising children in Manhattan covers the city as a community resource and provides the information that every parent needs.

The book educates parents by guiding them through the school application process, choosing doctors and caregivers, handling birthday parties, networking with other parents, dealing with emergencies, scheduling activities and play date etiquette. Also included are detailed listings of over 275 retail establishments specializing in children's goods and over 450 activities for children (classes, cultural activities, and "boredom busters"). Businesses and services are not rated or reviewed, but are presented in an objective, easy to use, format.
