I was told to wait until the kids were older, and I would agree. Kids need to be at least 11 before they visit. Once they are teens they are equipped for the intensity of the 9\/11 Museum. The museum is extensive and goes in depth. This is a vital part of our history and a highly educational experience.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Empire State Building<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Teens love having good photos for their social media accounts, and there is no better place for awesome photos than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/empire-state-building-general-express-ticket-options.a183589.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=New+York%2C+New+York&amp;startDate=2019-05-24&amp;endDate=2019-05-26&amp;latLong=40.75668%2C-73.98647&amp;rid=178293&amp;pageNumber=1&amp;expandedRegion=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Empire State Building<\/a>.

Top of the Rock is part of Rockefeller Center.

While you walk around, keep your eye out for street art.

Instead of listening to facts about the city over earphones, there are two people singing and joking sarcastically live. Along the way, you encounter all kinds of live action, including rapping, dancing, and more. Needless to say, this is a far better way for teens to see the city.<\/div>\n<h2><strong>See a Show<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Visiting NYC without seeing a show should be illegal. Broadway is packed full of talent and a variety of shows. If you haven\u2019t seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/wicked-on-broadway.a185520.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=New+York%2C+New+York&amp;startDate=2019-05-24&amp;endDate=2019-05-26&amp;latLong=40.75668%2C-73.98647&amp;rid=178293&amp;pageNumber=1&amp;expandedRegion=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wicked<\/a> before, I&#8217;d highly advise that you see this show. Although shows are expensive, you can get discounted tickets in an assortment of ways. Two apps that I recommend are TodayTix and tkts. Located in Times Square, there is a half price ticket stand underneath the bleachers. They will have a list of discounted shows each day.<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Go Shopping<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Most teenagers enjoy shopping, and NYC has just about every store imaginable. In Times Square, you will find an American Eagle, H&amp;M, Forever 21, and Express.<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Visit a Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>There are a few markets in NYC, including the Chelsea Market. The Chelsea Market is open every day and has lots of shops and eateries. Plus, it\u2019s a cool space which means teens can get more cool photos. Plan to eat lunch at the street taco shop and don\u2019t leave without heading up to the High Line.<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Get High<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_30984\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30984\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Walk-the-Highline.png\" alt=\"Walk the Highline\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Walk-the-Highline.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Walk-the-Highline-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Walk-the-Highline-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Walk-the-Highline-400x250.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30984\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Walking the High Line | Photo by Meagan Wristen<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>No, I don\u2019t mean that.

Here are a few places we\u2019ve found over the years that are enjoyable to dine at and have photogenic food.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>The Malthouse<\/strong>: The Malthouse has an excellent Sunday brunch with a bottomless cocktail option that moms of teens deserve! You will find this near the 9\/11 Memorial.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Buns Bar<\/strong>: For the most psychedelic milkshakes you have ever seen, this is the place.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Black Tap<\/strong>: Chances are you\u2019ve heard of this place. It used to be difficult to get in, but they\u2019ve opened up multiple locations. If you&#8217;re interested in grabbing a burger and a freak shake you will love this place.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Juniors<\/strong>: Juniors has the best hot chocolate in the world. Maybe it was because it was 8 degrees during our last visit to the city, but when we stopped in to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate, I swear it tasted like heaven. They also serve milkshakes with a slice of cheesecake on top. They have multiple locations in NYC, including near Times Square.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Citizens Kitchen:<\/strong> If you are looking for a more affordable place to eat, you will appreciate the nine eating options found inside Citizens Kitchen. They offer a little bit of everything like sushi, tacos, lobster rolls, donuts, and more. You will find this one block from Times Square inside the Row NYC hotel.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Go Ice Skating<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_30988\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30988\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza.png\" alt=\"Ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza-510x382.png 510w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza-632x474.png 632w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ice-skating-at-Rockefeller-Plaza-536x402.png 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza | photo by Meagan Wristen<\/p><\/div>\n<div>If you visit during the winter months, there are multiple places to go ice skating.
